Product Information

Full details

The Gardner Covert Tungsten Ronnie Sleeves are essential terminal tackle components designed for carp anglers seeking a streamlined, efficient rig setup for Ronnie or German rig presentations. They are perfect for anglers who prioritize quick hook changes and tidy, tangle-free rigs, though users should note they are specifically calibrated for size 12 QC or XT swivels rather than larger alternatives. These heavy-density sleeves provide an excellent counter-balance for highly buoyant pop-ups while ensuring smooth hook rotation.

Can I use these sleeves with size 8 swivels?

No, these are specifically designed for size 12 QC or XT swivels to maintain the correct fit and movement.

Do I still need to use shrink tube with these?

No, the primary benefit of these sleeves is that they eliminate the need for shrink tube, making hook changes much faster.

Are these suitable for naked Chod rigs?

How many sleeves are included in a pack?

What hook sizes work best with these?

Will the tungsten material damage my line?

No, the tungsten polymer is designed to be smooth and safe for use with all standard carp fishing hooklinks.

Troubleshooting

Sleeve is difficult to slide over the swivel

Ensure the swivel is the recommended size 12 QC or XT; if necessary, slightly wet the swivel eye to reduce friction during application.

Hook rotation feels restricted

Check that the sleeve is not pushed too far down over the swivel barrel; it should only cover the top half of the swivel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the sleeves, simply slide the sleeve over the swivel and push it until it seats firmly over the top half of the swivel eye. Ensure you are using the correct size 12 QC or XT swivel to guarantee a tight, secure fit. The sleeves are designed for use with hook sizes 2 to 6. For care, rinse the sleeves in clean water after use to remove any silt or debris, especially after fishing in weedy or silty environments. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the tungsten polymer compound.
