Blowback Ronnie / Spinner Rigs - Ready Made

The latest adaption of the proven Spinner Rig, Designed for bottom baits!

The Blow back Spinner rig is designed to use with a bottom bait over a firm lake bed, this rig gives you incredible hook holds and if the spinner was not hard enough for a Carp to eject this adaption makes it even harder! Comprising of a stiff boom section this rig will lay flat on the bottom out of the way of any feeding carp. The stiff boom will prevent tangles on the cast and ensure the hook bait is kicked away from the lead.

The blow back element of this rig will allow a carp to spit out your bait as they normally do when the feed, the bait will slide up the shank of the hook leaving the hook inside ready to prick the bottom lip. With the bait mounted on a hair, this will give your bait more natural movement and enable the bait to be sucked in by a Carp much easier.

The boom material is memory-free which means you can straighten it without the need of steam, simply use some rig pullers and pull it straight and you are good to go! Because the boom is memory-free it also means that it will resist kinking when playing a fish - something that can seriously weaken a boom material. We have the boom available in a couple of options - clear, black or a unique camo fleck. The boom material is 25lb breaking strain and crimped using 0.6mm double barrel crimps. We don't use single barrel crimps which can damage boom material. By crimping the rigs you end up with a strong, reliable and neat connection, much stronger than using a knot.

Suitable for:

The Blowback Spinner - Ronnie rig is suitable for fishing over most lake beds, gravel, clay, clear hard patches. If you are fishing over shallow weed or soft silt, adding a PVA nugget will slow the descent of the hook section and allow the hook to sit on top of any debris

Ideal hookbaits:-

The Blowback Spinner - Ronnie rig is best used with bottom baits, although wafters and pop ups can be used very effectively.

Tips for using a Pop up or Buoyant Bait

To ensure your bait is presented correctly it is important to test your rig in a either a tub of water or the margins. Personally I find it easier using a tub with clear sides, this enables you to see exactly how your bait will sit when its fishing. It is important to remember Pop ups will have a different buoyancy from one brand to another and even from one bait to another out of the same tub.

What you are aiming for:

You want your hook to sit up in the water, and your boilie just above it. To achieve this you need to add some rig putty or one of the excellent ESP Balance beads to your rig. The distance you have the putty or bead from the eye of the hook will dictate the height your bait sits off the bottom. Some people will fish with their bait close to the bottom say around a inch however if there is shallow weed you may want your bait 2 inches of the bottom, you can simply reposition your putty or bead close to the lead to increase the amount your bait pop ups.
By using a tub with some water you can drop your baited rig in to it to check it sits right. If you are fishing over a soft silt bottom or weed then you want the rig to fall slowly through the water so it sits on top of the debris, you can add or remove putty as required to achieve this, you just need to ensure that you leave enough weight to counteract the buoyancy of the bait.
With some rigs such as the Ronnie or Spinner rig you would add the putty around the crimp nearest to the hook, this will make the hook sit upright with your bait just above it.

If your Pop up or bait sits hard on the bottom:

This is a little bit more difficult to counteract because you will need to add some buoyancy to your bait, a bit of pop up corn will often give you just enough buoyancy or you can use a bait drill and drill out some of the boilie and add some rig foam or cork to give you the buoyancy you need. Often you will find baits which have been soaked in a goo or glug will often become heavier and not sit correctly. How much buoyancy you will need to add will be trial and error however, taking the time to ensure your bait is presented perfectly will without a doubt get your more success with your fishing.

Tips for using a Wafter or Balanced bait

To ensure your bait is presented correctly it is important to test your rig in a either a tub of water or the margins. Personally I find it easier using a tub with clear sides, this enables you to see exactly how your bait will sit when its fishing. It is important to remember wafters will have a different buoyancy from one brand to another and even from one bait to another out of the same tub.

What you are aiming for:

You want your hook to sit flat, and your bait to barely touch the bottom, any movement of the water should make the bait "waft" this will give you some natural movement to your bait. If you find your wafter or bait is lifting the hook off the bottom you can do several things to achieve the ideal presentation, you can either add a split shot to the hair (if applicable) or you can simply trim your bait down using some scissors. A whittled down bait will often get the fish curious because its going to be a different shape and by taking the hard outer skin of a bait expose the core and more attractants to the water.

If your wafter or bait sits hard on the bottom:

This is a little bit more difficult to counteract because you will need to add some buoyancy to your bait, a bit of pop up corn will often give you just enough buoyancy or you can use a bait drill and drill out some of the boilie and add some rig foam to give you the buoyancy you need.
