I think Bank Tackle do a kit, including their own hook. I've found them quite good for odds n sods of terminal tackle. I have a discount code as well for them - TACKLE10 will get you 10% off. PS, I am not affiliated to them in anyway!!

eBay. But chances are you'd only be buying a load of bits you don't want or need
You don't need much mate
Korda boom 25lb
Korda krimps
Korda krimp tool
Korda spinner swivel
Shrink tube or sleeve
Bait screws or hook ring with bait floss
Tungsten putty
Hook of choice. Loads to choose from which work well. I like thekorda krank or Gardner mugga

They're quite easy to make up and there will be loads of videos online. Depends how dextrous you are I suppose, and how confident you are that they'll come out ok. If you find them for a about a quid each ready made, get yourself half a dozen. Don't know how cheap they'll be though, never bought any rig ready made.

Do a search on here for ready tied rigs, I'm sure there's some guy on Facebook who does them for about a quid each.

I would say no, learn to tie your own rigs. You may find it daunting at first but just do it, they are not as difficult as you first think. Then you can adapt things as you progress. get the bits and sit and tie some up. Won't take you too long to get the hang of if and start to have confidence
So much information out three you can't go wrong pal.
You'll have a bit more pleasure catching on a rig you tied yourself, that being said. No shame in having a few pre-tied in the case of a nervous encounter in a session
👍🏻

Think I have to agree, if you're serious about taking up carp fishing, long term you're going to need to learn to tie your own rigs, it will work out a lot cheaper than ready tied. Bite the bullet.
PS, I can't find that geezer either, can't remember where I saw it. I'll keep looking.

I think I've found the gut who sells cheap rigs. Go on facebook, they are called Therigwallet, ronnies are £1.09 each w/o the boom and £1.29 with the boom.
If you join Carp and Catfish - North uk on facebook, you'll see how to get a 10% discount. I have no idea what they are like though!!

This is very helpful for a newbie like me. Would be great if you could go a step further and detail the sizes needed so everything matches up correctly. I mean crimp size, swivel size, shrink tube size etc.
When totalled together, Its amazing to me how much all this stuff costs just to tie a Ronnie Rig.
It would be a good idea to have a sticky thread on here, titled RIGS, and under each rig include a precise list of all the individual parts required to build the rig, noting sizes where required, so begginers like me can go and buy everything with ease, without having to trawl through a ton of articles and videos online trying to figure it all out. For the past couple weeks i have been buying bits and pieces trying to compile everything needed to build a leadcore chod rig and i'm still not there, its doing my head in to be honest, and my wallet. I'm sure its simple to a seasoned carp angler, but for a newbie like me, its anything but.

I have been a bottom bait standard hair rig user forever and last year moved to the Multi Rig and this year I'm also having a play with the Ronnie.
I tend to buy all my rig components on ebay in bulk from China - soooooo much cheaper and besides all the branded stuff is made there anyway!
You can buy like 50 size 11 spinner swivels for £3.99, similar amount again for the size 11 quick release swivels, and the shrink tubing you can also buy the 2.6mm black in bulk meter length runs for about £2.50, the most expensive thing is probably the hook and in the picture of the Ronnie below which I built using all cheap Chinese components - other than the hook (J precision Size 5 euro XT) the boom which is Nash and the Bead, the rest cost me about £1 tops to make.

There are alternatives to Korda that are extremely decent and don't cost the Earth
Gardner's Slinky at various strains for a 100 yard for a fiver
Gardner do decent Hooks the Mugga is superb so are the Carp R US range.
Wychwood do crimps and crimp tools
Heat shrink from EBay
ESP Hook Grips
Gardner Swivels
These products are not only superb I believe they are better than the alternatives.
Fishing can be seriously expensive and thee are companies that at best don't pull your pants down by an advertising guru thats happy to sell average kit for inflated prices. Do some research ask questions there really is better options out there.
There really is a lot of decent companies out there that manufacture fair better products than Korda and yes I've found the majority of Korda tackle to be useless and overly expensive when I can find alternatives that are cheaper and higher quality.
Imo everything they produce is profit over quality.

Like you, I shop around to get good deals. Terminal tackle such as swivels, sleeves, lead clips, I get from bank tackle. Leads I buy in bulk from Carter's Leads, boilies buy in bulk during sale time, particles use pigeon conditioner (cheap as chips), end tackle wise, the only thing I don't go unbranded are hook link material and hooks, and I just shop around for good deals - for example, got 4 packets of Mugga hooks for just over £10 off eBay recently. I tend to steer away from Korda because that guy is making too much money!!
It is an expensive hobby, but you can make it cheaper.
