Ronnie D Rigs - Spinner D Rigs

Ronnie D Rigs – Danny Fairbrass Style Spinner Mechanics with Stiff D-Loops

Our Ready Made Ronnie D Rigs (also known as Spinner D Rigs) take the unstoppable 360° rotational mechanics of the classic Ronnie rig and elevate them with a specialized stiff D-section. Favored by Korda’s Danny Fairbrass, this mechanical modification creates crucial separation between the hook bait and the hook shank, dramatically reducing hook pulls during intense fights.

Hand-tied and precision-crimped by Ricks Rigz, these premium ready made Spinner D rigs utilize an ultra-stiff boom section paired with specialized spinner swivels. The stiff boom kicks the hookbait away from your lead system on the cast, guaranteeing zero air-phase tangles and automatically resetting the presentation if nuisance fish or aborted takes move the bait.

Available in crystal-clear memory-free Amnesia (25lb) or our subtle ~50lb Camo Fleck boom material, this rig provides total structural strength and visual camouflage over gravel, clay, silt, or autumn leaf-littered lakebeds.

Mechanical Precision: 360° Hook Rotation & Stiff D Bait Separation

The mechanics of the Ronnie D Rig solve a critical flaw found in standard shank-mounted spinner rigs. When a carp inhales a bait mounted directly to the shank, the mass of the bait can act as leverage during the fight, potentially widening the hook hold and causing a pull. By mounting the bait on a stiff D-section loop, the bait slides clear upon intake and fight, leaving the bare hook to drive deep into the lower lip unhindered.

The 360° swivel attachment allows the hook point to spin immediately toward the lakebed regardless of the direction from which the carp approaches. Whether presented with a low-lying pop-up over debris or a critically balanced wafter hovering weightlessly over the hook, the rig reacts instantaneously upon intake.

Precision-crimped connections replace bulky knots, maintaining maximum breaking strain and streamlined aerodynamics for distance casting.

When and How to Fish the Ronnie D Rig

The Ronnie D carp rig is a multi-season powerhouse that excels in autumn when fishing over bottom debris, leaf litter, and silt, while remaining equally lethal over clean gravel spots all year round.

It is the ideal choice for:

• Presenting pop-ups just clear of bottom detritus, low weed, or autumn leaves
• Fishing critically balanced wafters flat to the deck with zero resistance
• Targeting rig-wary, hard-fighting carp where hook-pull prevention is paramount
• Long-range casting where complete anti-tangle, self-resetting reliability is required
• Setting up with lead clip systems on firm beds or helicopter arrangements over soft ground

Best Hookbaits & Angler Tips for Ronnie D Rigs

To get the absolute best performance out of your ready made Ronnie D rigs, follow these bankside tips from our rig-tying bench:

• Balancing Pop-Ups: Test the rig in the margins prior to casting. Different pop-up brands vary in buoyancy; add a small dab of tungsten rig putty directly around the top crimp until the boom lays completely flat and the pop-up sits upright.
• Wafter Presentation: When using wafters, ensure the bait hover-settles just above the hook bend while the boom and hook lie flat on the lakebed. Trim the wafter slightly with scissors if it lifts the hook point off the bottom.
• Boom Maintenance: If using clear Amnesia boom material, simply pull the rig firm between your hands to pull out any kinks caused by fighting fish—no steam required.
