The NASH Ronnie Boom is a rigid fluorocarbon boom specially developed for carp anglers seeking a flawless presentation of their Ronnie rig. Its rigid fluorocarbon construction keeps the leader perfectly straight and positions the bait away from your weight and terminal tackle, minimizing the risk of tangling.
Thanks to its discreet, sinking properties, the fluorocarbon naturally settles on the bottom and remains low-visibility underwater. Combined with an extra-robust finish, this boom withstands repeated stresses from long, powerful casts and hard fights without losing rigidity or reliability. It therefore delivers a stable, consistent anti-tangle presentation across most bottom types.
The boom incorporates a Ronnie-style swivel that allows you to change hooks quickly without retying or using heat-shrink tubing. With just a few simple moves using a tungsten kicker or a suitable stopper, you can replace a blunt hook and be back fishing with a fully functional rig in seconds.
By choosing this rigid boom for Ronnie rigs, you significantly simplify rig setup while increasing effectiveness. The leader stays taut, the bait is presented just above the bottom and ready to be taken, which encourages solid hookups and reduces lost fish.
The ability to change a hook in seconds is a major advantage at the waterside. Instead of rebuilding your entire leader, simply release the old hook mounted on a kicker and clip on a new one. You save time, stay focused on your prospecting strategy and keep a razor-sharp rig ready to fish.
The NASH Ronnie Boom is also praised for its versatility. It can be used with many balanced or buoyant bait presentations whether you fish at a weir, in a gravel pit, in a canal or on a smaller pond. Its controlled rigidity helps push the bait beyond debris and small obstacles on the bottom to maintain a clean, attractive presentation for longer.
Standardizing this key component of your Ronnie rig gives you a reliable, repeatable and high-performance base. You can then focus on selecting the hook, bait and target area, knowing your leader mechanics remain consistent from session to session.
To get the best from the boom, start by checking the cleanliness of your terminal tackle before each rig build. Securely attach the boom to your main line, then connect the hook fitted with its kicker or stopper to the swivel provided. Make sure the rig remains free to rotate so the hook can turn instantly when the bait is sucked in.
Adapt the bait type and lead weight to the conditions of the swim while keeping the goal of a clean anti-tangle presentation on the bottom. When casting, guide the rig down while maintaining contact with the line to help the boom straighten and position correctly.
After any heavy cast or fight, check the general condition of the fluorocarbon boom and swivel. If necessary, lightly straighten the leader between your fingers to preserve optimal rigidity. Store pre-tied rigs in a rigid compartment or on a dedicated holder to keep their shape and effectiveness between sessions.
