Choose the Hook Size
Match the hook size to your hook bait, target fish and fishery rules. Larger hooks can suit bigger baits, while smaller hooks provide a more discreet presentation.
Everything you need to know about the rig, how it is designed to fish and how to choose the right configuration.
Our Ready Made Tom Dove Style Spinner Rigs duplicate the exact high-performance tweaks refined by Tom Dove and the Korda team across international venues. Unlike standard Ronnie setups built on traditional curve shank patterns, this rig utilizes the aggressive, sweeping bend and offset point of the Krank hook pattern to dramatically improve bite-to-land ratios.
Hand-tied and precision-crimped by Ricks Rigz, these premium ready made Spinner Rigs ditch standard bulky shrink tube sleeves. By applying a minimalist kicker sleeve directly over the hook eye and leaving the barrel of the specialized swivel exposed, the hook gains an extended range of fluid movement. This allows the point to drop into the bottom lip faster and drive deeper during an intake.
Mounted on ultra-stiff, memory-free 25lb Amnesia boom material, this setup offers total anti-tangle reliability from short marginal drops to extreme long-range casting, self-resetting instantly if a fish aborts a pick-up.
What sets the Tom Dove Spinner Rig apart from standard 360° setups is the interplay between the Krank pattern and the minimalist shrink tube application. The beaked point, wide gape, and offset shank of the Krank hook eliminate the need for exaggerated kickers while drastically reducing the chance of hook pulls during hard fights.
By keeping the barrel of the spinner swivel completely unconstrained by heat-shrink tubing, the hook rotates with zero friction in response to suction. The moment a carp takes a wafter, pop-up, or cork-baited tiger nut, the rig turns aggressively and pricks the lower lip before ejection can take place.
Tied with precision-crimped 25lb Amnesia booms, the rig acts as a rigid push-rod during flight, keeping the hookbait separated from the lead system to guarantee pristine presentation on every single cast.
Every rig is produced with strict bench consistency, giving you tournament-grade terminal mechanics so you spend less time tying intricate aligners and more time putting fish on the bank.
The Tom Dove Spinner Rig is a lethal, multi-season tactic capable of fishing over almost any clean or moderately debris-strewn lakebed.

Practical answers based on this rig's setup, hookbait compatibility and the conditions it is designed to fish in.
This is a Invisible Tom Dove Style Spinner Rig supplied ready tied and ready to fish. The idea is to give you a dependable starting point, then let you choose the hookbait and final options to suit the water in front of you.
This rig works well with Pop Ups and Wafters. Whichever hookbait you choose, make sure it is balanced to suit the rig so it settles cleanly and reacts quickly when a carp picks it up.
It is a good option over gravel, silt, mud, clay and weed. I would still check the spot before casting, because a clean presentation matters more than the label on the lakebed. If there is weed, debris or very soft silt, adjust the setup so the rig can settle properly.
This is a versatile rig that can be used through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. I would still let the conditions on the day guide the final setup, especially water temperature, fish activity and how confidently the carp are feeding.
This rig can be fished with Pop Up Presentation and Wafter Presentation. The final presentation will depend on the hookbait you choose, its buoyancy and the lakebed you are fishing over, so it is worth checking the rig in the edge before casting out.
