With a wafter hookbait, do you guys use a loop on the swivel end, or just a knot..does the extra movement created by a loop with a wafter improve it?..whats your thoughts?

For a Ronnie - I use a grinner at the swivel end, there is enough movement and flexibility already in the rig. I have hook holds the same as below, using the rig for 2 seasons it has done me very well and I would need some convincing to change to anything soon. I use a Mugga in a 4.

Has anyone ever had a hook come off during the fight on a ronnie?

I've tied up some with bank tackle spinner/ ronnie swivels and using a kicker sleeve to hold the hook in place but I'm worried it could come loose during the fight as there is a big gap on the swivel if that makes sense!

They dont come off mate.

I use the Gardner quick change swivels at the hook, I have to open the gape of the swivel hook to hook it through the eye of the Mugga hook, then squeeze it back to shape once hooked through.

They don't come off.

That's the point I'm making (or trying) I used to use this type but have just bought the ronnie ones and the gap makes it easy to come off when I move the hook about and back on itself.

Be mindful these swivels are lighter than the other brands
So it may affect your presentation

With a wafter I would use a knot, so a German rig basically, with a loop or ring swivel I find the hook can fall back along the hooklink if that makes sense
