What is everyone using for the boom section on their Ronnie rigs ? I currently use thinking anglers tungskin but wondered whether a stiffer boom might be more effective, thanks .

I have had a look at the Gemini booms they look tidy I just simply like doing my own rigs, depends but generally a stiff fluoro like boom krimped or hybrid stiff krimped if I want something softer I do like pb jelly wire
Boom by Korda has been working really well for me lately, really neat with crimps at either end

Honestly once you use the gemini booms you wont go near a self made boom again. they last for ages and pretty reasonable too.

Couldn't agree more. Despite having all the bits to crimp my own I bought a few packs of the Gemini products, the Turbo German, Ronnie and Combi.
This was over a year ago now, the quality is superb, far neater than a crimp and very strong. No need for meter's and meter's of Boom and all the other bits, only ever have to change the hook.
Going to give the leaders a crack as my water is gin clear.

Thanks for all the replies . I have ordered some Korda boom material in 25lb to have a play with . Just wondering if there are any circumstances that you wouldn't use the stiffer boom material as opposed to a softer coated material , thanks.

20lb amnesia. Semi stiff. Go 30lb if you want it stiffer.
