Used Ronnie Rigs for the first time over the weekend, had four hook ups but two resulted in hook pulls. Is this something that anyone else has an issue with?

What size hook were you using? It seems to be a more common occurrence when using the rig with smaller hooks.

Size 6 hooks Charlie.

In size 4 Muggas I haven't lost a fish, size 4 kranks I've had the hooks pull and straighten. Where were the fish you landed hooked? And how long a boom?

Also had issues with 6s. Swapped to 4s and 2s and the problem went away.

Both bottom left lip hook holds on the ones landed. Approx. 6in boom.

Looks as though it is a hook size thing, judging by the answers. I'll get on the size 4's and see how I fare.

What size were the fish and how sharp were your hooks?

J precision long shank curve size 6 👌
Only had 1 hookpull out of 30 fish landed this year

I use a Mugga in 4 and never lost one once hooked, just struggling to hook one atm 😂

Check the hook bead isn't slipping and is correctly positioned

Mugga hooks every time rather than Krank hooks, never had a problem with size but I also prefer using a size 4 on this rig

Another one for the size 4 muggas, my favourite hooks

I experienced Hook pulls with size 4 barbless Kranks with a ronnie.
Its a barbless water and alot of weed, wide gapes have been recommended to me, but im unsure?

Size 4 mugga or size 4 esp trighammer

I've been using it with size 6 angling iron curves, used a 12mm pop up and landed 13 from 13 so far, mates that have used it with bigger hookbaits have experienced hookpulls, I only use it for fishing a low pop up over bits and pieces, if I'm fishing boilies il use a multi or a chod.
