Product Information
Full details
Designed for carp anglers who demand precision in their Ronnie Rigs, these RidgeMonkey Rock Bottom QC Rotator Sleeves are ideal for those looking to improve hook mechanics and rig concealment. The key benefit is the combination of a high-density tungsten composition and a built-in hook ring stop, which ensures the rig resets effectively; however, users should note these are specifically sized for the RM-Tec QC Rotator Swivel and may not fit standard generic swivels as securely.

FAQs
Can I use these sleeves with other brands of swivels?
While they may fit other swivels, they are specifically designed for the RM-Tec QC Rotator Swivel. Performance and fitment may vary with other brands.
How many sleeves come in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 individual sleeves.
Do I still need to use tungsten putty?
The weight of the sleeve is designed to keep your rig pinned to the bottom, so you likely won't need extra putty, though conditions vary.
Are these sleeves reusable?
Yes, they can be reused multiple times as long as the material does not tear or lose its shape.
What is the benefit of the integrated hook ring stop?
It prevents the hook swivel from getting stuck or jamming on the sleeve, allowing for an automatic reset of the rig if a fish rejects the bait.
Troubleshooting
Sleeve is difficult to slide over the swivel
Apply a small amount of water or saliva to the swivel eye to act as a lubricant, making it easier to pull the sleeve into position.
The sleeve keeps slipping off the swivel
Ensure you are using the correct size RM-Tec QC Rotator Swivel; if the fit is loose, check that the sleeve has been pushed fully past the crimp or connection point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure you are using these sleeves with the compatible RM-Tec QC Rotator Swivel. To install, gently moisten the sleeve or the swivel eye to reduce friction, then push the sleeve firmly over the joint until it seats securely. Because the material is tungsten-impregnated and semi-stiff, avoid stretching it excessively with sharp objects, as this can weaken the integrity of the plastic. After each session, inspect the sleeve for any tears or signs of deformation caused by fish movement or debris. Store the sleeves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the flexibility of the material and ensure the matte finish remains effective.
