Full details

It is perfect for those who frequently switch between Ronnie, Hinge, and Combi rigs, offering a secure connection that keeps setups tidy and effective.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for PVA bag fishing?

Yes, the compact nature of the link and sleeve makes it excellent for short, controlled rig presentations inside small PVA bags.

Are these sleeves reusable?

Yes, the tungsten sleeves are durable and can be moved between rigs multiple times unless they become damaged or lose their grip.

What is the best way to store these?

Keep them in their original cardboard wallet to prevent them from getting lost, as the components are small.

Will the tungsten sleeve affect my rig's pop-up presentation?

The weight is intended to help pin the hooklink down. If you are using an extremely light pop-up, you may need to adjust your putty or buoyancy to compensate.

Is the wire link strong enough for large carp?

The wire quick link is designed specifically for standard carp angling scenarios and is more than strong enough for landing large specimens when used correctly.

Troubleshooting

Sleeve is difficult to slide over the link

Apply a small amount of water or saliva to the link to lubricate the surface for easier sleeve movement.

Quick link keeps catching on weeds

Ensure the tungsten sleeve is pushed fully over the link to create a smooth, tapered profile.

Rig feels loose during the cast

Check that the tungsten sleeve is pushed firmly onto the connection point to lock the hook section securely in place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly faster rig changes on the bank
Tungsten weight helps maintain a low profile on the lake bottom
Streamlined shape prevents tangles during casting
High-quality construction ensures durability under pressure
Environmentally friendly packaging

Cons

Requires careful threading to ensure the sleeve seats correctly
Not intended for very thick diameter leader materials
Small components require good dexterity to manage in cold weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Rig Link, pass your boom section through the eye of the quick link and secure it with your preferred knot. Slide the tungsten sleeve down the line until it covers the wire link completely. To ensure longevity, rinse the components in fresh water after use in silty or sandy conditions to prevent grit from building up inside the sleeve. Always inspect the wire quick link for signs of fatigue or distortion after fighting large fish, and replace the unit if the wire has opened up or shows signs of rusting.
