Product Information
Full details
The Fox Edges Camo Ronnie Sleeves are essential terminal tackle components designed for carp anglers who utilize Ronnie or Spinner rig presentations. These sleeves offer a streamlined, reusable alternative to traditional shrink tubing, allowing for rapid hook changes without the need for heat-activated materials. While they provide excellent presentation and security, users should note that they require careful threading over the hook point to prevent dulling or damage.

FAQs
Do I need to steam these sleeves like shrink tubing?
No, these sleeves are designed to be a mechanical friction fit and require no heat or steaming.
Can I use these with any hook pattern?
They are best suited for hooks with eyes that align well with Kwik Change Swivels, such as most wide-gape or curved-shank patterns.
What should I do if the sleeve becomes loose after many uses?
If the sleeve loses its elasticity, it is recommended to replace it to ensure the security of your hook attachment.
Is the camo pattern effective on all lake beds?
The Fox Edges camo pattern is designed to break up the shape of the tackle against various substrates like weed, silt, and gravel.
Can I trim the sleeve while it is already on the hook?
It is safer to remove the sleeve from the hook before trimming to avoid accidentally damaging the hook point.
Troubleshooting
Sleeve is difficult to push over the hook eye
Ensure you are using a standard Kwik Change Hook Swivel; if resistance persists, apply a tiny amount of hooklink lubricant.
The sleeve slides off the swivel during a cast
Check that the sleeve is pushed fully over the barrel of the swivel and is not obstructed by excess knot material or tubing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that you are using a compatible Kwik Change Hook Swivel that fits snugly within the sleeve. When setting up, always ensure the hook point is sharp before threading the sleeve, and consider using a tiny drop of rig glue if you intend to create a permanent, non-moving connection. For care, store the sleeves in your tackle box away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the material. If the sleeves become stiff after long-term use, soaking them in warm water can help restore their pliability for easier application.
