I would like to show this group my latest release, the RonRig Pro Striper Special - Texoma Edition.

I use hardened Stainless Steel wire, and has a Compression Ring. The dimensions are:

16" center .062 diameter Hardened Stainless Steel
10 3/4" .051 diameter Stainless for the legs, each with 3 - #3.5 Willow Blades.
In the picture, the Small RonRig is the Double Willow Pro Striper Special 8" RonRig.

As can be seen in the pictures, each end of the wire is turned, and not crimped, adding to the strength of the Rig. I turn each leg on a custom made Professional Wire Form Tool....believe me, I thought .051 wire is hard to turn, but the .062 wire, WOW, so tough I had to design and build my custom Wire Form tool for this heavy strong wire.

I have been asked why do I call it the Texoma Edition? While testing the RonBrella at Lake Texoma, I noticed many of the fish caught hit on the center Leader, which was 14" long. After discussing with some Anglers, and Guides, decided to build the Texoma Edition, no disrespect to other lakes.

It can also be trolled like an umbrella rig, just need to add weight in front of the RonRig. When the arms are extended, the rig is just at 21.5 inches in diameter. You can clip your leaders to the Clevis in the middle. and to the end if you choose.
If your Fishing Club would like additional information, I can visit your meeting and discuss fishing with A Style Umbrella Rigs, Tips and Tricks used by Anglers and Pro's. I have visited a few meetings, and had a blast.

Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions. I can customize to your liking since they are manufactured in Lewisville, TX. Also until May 1, 2015 at 11:59 pm, TFF members can use the promo code TFF10%OFF for a total discount on your purchase, and I have Inventory on hand ready to ship TODAY. The website is - www.nekidtackle.com


The picture below shows both compressed, so that they can be easily stowed.

Nice!


Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach

I get asked all the time, "Do the wires break on the 2nd or 3rd time I use them, like all of the other A/Umbrella rigs"?

I have shown many people that the legs can be bent multiple times, and have yet Break. Eventually all wire break, but EVERY RonRig I build can be used over and over.

Need Proof? See what Jeff Bobo just posted, he is a Guide and uses RonRig's"

He had watched me bend the arms on my RONRIGS and wanted to see if his brand new umbrella rig would bend the same way. He bent the arm up and back down and it broke off in his hand. Never had it in the water. He said "What if I had a tournament winning fish on this thing! It would have cost me the win." I had told him before hand not to buy them, to get RONRIGS instead. All metal will eventually break after a certain amount of use, but RONRIGS are the best and will last a very long time. I bend mine to store them and then open them back out when I'm ready to use them. I have not had an arm break yet. The size wire and type of wire is far superior to the box brands you get at most retail stores. My friend said "Get me some RONRIGS!" I have caught several stripers and sand bass on my RONRIGS. Ron has built some of the best rigs available. Good job, Ron! thumb

Received mine in the mail. Quick shipping and they appear to be high quality. However I've never used umbrella rigs before and I have a question. Mine came compressed, like in your second picture. Do I just bend the wire to open them up for use?

"Mine came compressed, like in your second picture. Do I just bend the wire to open them up for use?"

There is a ring around the arms that hold them together for storage. Slide the ring up and the arms will spread out some. It is best if you spread them a little more so the blades can turn without hitting the other wires or legs. You can actually spread the arms out at a 90 degree bend and they won't break. You just have to play with it to find what works best for you, the further you spread them the harder they are to reel in. The way the top pics are works better for chunk and wind, or trolling you can spread them even more. You will have more resistance when trolling so it helps to spread them a little more. I hold the rig up close to the top and grab the leg about a 1/2" or so down and pull it up to make a sharp bend. If casting just spread it enough to allow the blades to clear the other legs. When you are through fishing with it, just bend it back down and slide the ring down to hold it compressed to store it or hook it to the hook keeper on the rod. Good luck fish

If they get a kink or bend in the wire just use a couple of pair of piers and straighten it out. Over time the wire will fatigue and break, but I believe it will be years down the road. We have to keep Ron in business some way. He needs to sell more to fund his fishing habit. grin

I ordered a few items from Ron today and anxious to give them a try. I just wanted to say that I, being very inadequate in technology skills, had my USUAL trouble ordering online. In this instance I'm very glad I did because in talking with Ron about my use of his products I received very good advice about what I needed to purchase to best suit my needs. With Ron's guidance I figured out the process. Great shopping experience and am confident I'll be happy with my purchases and will have more purchases in the future. Hats off to Ron.
