BCR Rigga hooks are the perfect beaked point Chod/Stiff/Multi/D-rig hook pattern. The gently sweeping beaked point ensures that the hook can penetrate effectively, so that more ‘pick ups’ are converted into fish in the net.

BCR hooks feature a deliciously long tapered, gently sweeping beaked hook point that has an awesome razor sharp chemically etched point. The beak points profile maintained the basic mechanical benefits of improved penetration through a positive angle of drawer and then a positive gripping effect once buried giving really secure hook holds.

The pattern is also incredibly strong, having been made from extra strong top grade high carbon steel that is both forged and double tempered meaning these are ‘man enough’ for the most testing carp fishing situations. Additionally, we have taken the opportunity introduced a larger diameter eye simply to make this hook user friendly to anglers that prefer to use knotless knots rather than complex whipping knots like the Snell or Domhoff. The larger eyes makes it easier to pass high diameter stiff hooklink materials, like Tripwire, through twice and still fit the tag through to form a ‘D’.

Finally, the angle of drawer is dictated by the direction the hook point faces – and in the case of the BCR this has been optimised by tailoring the length of the shank and the angle of the eye so the hook buries deeply, quickly and securely when a fish is hooked. In fact, results during testing proved they give superb hook holds and have been spot on when used on all sorts of Chod, D-Rig and Hinged Stiff style presentations.

CamFlex Leadfree leader is a superb fast sinking leader material that has been woven using 100% heavy PTFE fibres, so it has the highest possible weight for a non-core leader material. The amazing supple nature means that material will hug the contours of lake bed when it is fished slack, and feels ‘natural’ when a fish brushes against it.

Gardner’s high strength adhesive fabric tape is ideal for a variety of uses, such as covering banksticks, rodd butts, containers, etc. Available in two finishes, Camo and Khaki, which along with it’s non reflective properties, make it perfect for blending into bankside and rural environments.

The Continental Ronnie Rig is an amazingly effective low pop-up presentation that offers tremendous hook holds. It’s a sensationally effective presentation that will rightfully stand the test of time, like other classics such as the Hinged Stiff Rig, Chod Rig, Blow Back, etc.

Continental Ronnie Rigs feature our hugely popular extra strong and super sharp Covert Continental Dark Mugga hooks (in size 2, 4 and 6) that are attached to the uprated XT Flexi-Ring Kwik Lok Swivel, making them ideal for really heavy duty angling scenarios; fishing for big carp in the most demanding angling situations here both in the UK and on mainland Europe.

Essentially, the combination of this hook pattern’s in-turned eye, swept shank and amazing razor sharp point is the perfect combination for getting the most out of the Ronnie rig, as it creates a fast and aggressive reacting hooking mechanism that takes a firm hook hold. Each end section features a mat finished sliding Covert Hook Swivel, held in position with a Covert Hook Stop. This phenomenal rig has been tried, tested and proven time and time again on big carp waters across the UK and Europe with truly devastating results!

To get started, all you need to do is tie your favoured hooklink material onto the Flexi-Ring, tailoring the hooklink length and material to the nature of the lake bed you’re fishing over and the lead arrangement that you are using. As a rough guide we recommend monofilaments like our hugely successful Trick-Link and Invisi-Link for Helicopter rigs, and softer hooklinks like the awesome Ultra Skin or Ultra Sink skinned hooklinks on Covert Lead Clips (or similar) arrangements. It can even be fished as a naked chod style presentation, that is an awesome and often overlooked application of the Ronnie…

Finally, all you need to do is tie on a pop up that is buoyant enough to hold the rig section up. You should add a small amount of Critical Mass (Tungsten Putty) moulded around the shrink tubing, that holds the XT Swivel in place, so the rig sinks slowly to the lakebed. If the hookbait is not buoyant enough the hook will not be able to rotate freely, and this will detract from the rig’s ultimate performance.

We generally prefer to use and recommend a small pop up. The easiest way to attach readymade pop ups is to thread a section of main line or dental floss onto the hook swivel and pull the two tags through the bait. Pull the dental floss through the bait whilst pushing the pop up onto the Covert Hook Swivel eye (which helps keep it in place). Finally, tie several granny knots flush to the outside of the hook bait, trim the floss to 1cm and blob the tag ends to secure the hook bait firmly in place.

Perfect for streamlining terminal tackle and reducing tangles. Semi stiff compound provides the optimum balance of rigidity and flexibility giving you maximum rig control.
