Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing Ronnie or spinner rigs. You get the stiff, sinking boom and quick-change connection without tying the boom section yourself.
- Anglers who like to swap hook sections. The Ronnie Clip makes changing the hook section quick when the point dulls or you fancy a fresh presentation.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers wanting a complete ready-tied rig. You still need to supply and attach the hook and finish the hook section.
- Fans of supple or ultra-flexible presentations. This is deliberately stiff fluorocarbon, built for anti-tangle performance rather than lots of movement.

Quick verdict
The verdict
A cracking shortcut if you like fishing Ronnie or spinner rigs but can’t be bothered faffing around tying every boom from scratch. The super-stiff, sinking fluorocarbon gives you a tidy presentation and helps keep everything kicking away from the lead.
The three-per-pack price bracket should be judged against the time saved and the clean finish. Just remember that you still need the correct hook, swivel and pop-up to complete the rig, and the stiff material wants sensible handling rather than being bent into a mess.

The straight, super-stiff fluorocarbon and neat Streamliner sleeve arrangement give it a properly finished feel.
The stiff boom should kick the hook section away during casting, while the heavy-sinking material helps keep the rig pinned down.
A tidy Ronnie or spinner presentation with good separation can help the hook and pop-up behave consistently over suitable lakebeds.
The ready-made boom and Ronnie Clip remove a fair chunk of rig-building faff and make hook-section changes quick.
Three booms per pack offer useful time savings, though you still need extra components and the pack quantity isn’t massive.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the ESP Fusion Booms Ronnie Clip Rig
There’s a lot to like about a Ronnie rig, mate. It sits nicely over the lakebed, lets the hook rotate freely and works a treat with a pop-up. The only snag? Building a tidy one can turn into a right faff, especially when you’re trying to get the boom straight, the swivel moving properly and the whole lot casting without tangling.
That’s where the ESP Fusion Booms Ronnie Clip Rig comes in. It takes care of the boom section before you’ve even opened the rig box. You get a ready-made fused fluorocarbon boom, a Streamliner sleeve and the Ronnie Clip connection, all set up to make swapping and finishing the rig a good deal less painful.
The boom itself is approximately seven inches long and made from 0.5 mm fluorocarbon. That’s not a wispy little hooklink. It’s proper stiff stuff, with a breaking strain over 30 lb, designed to keep its shape and kick the hook section away from the lead. For casting a pop-up rig over a bit of chod or low weed, that separation is dead handy.
The stiffness is doing more than just looking tidy in the packet. A supple link can fold back on itself or wrap around the lead during a lively cast. This boom is much more resistant to that sort of nonsense. Get the rig clipped up properly, make a decent cast and the boom helps everything land in a more organised fashion.
It’s also designed to sink heavily and stay pinned to the lakebed. That matters when you’re fishing pressured waters where a bit of line or boom waving above the bottom can look a touch out of place. The fluorocarbon is intended to hug the deck, while the hook section gets on with the important job of presenting the hook and bait.
At the connection end, the Streamliner sleeve secures the loop to the quick-change swivel. It’s a neat little arrangement, and the name gives away the idea: keep the connection streamlined and tidy rather than leaving a bulky knot or loose loop flapping about. That makes changing a finished hook section quick when the point has taken a battering or you fancy a fresh one.
There are 0.3 g and 0.6 g tungsten sleeve options, which is a useful touch rather than pointless choice. The right one depends on the hook and pop-up size you’re pairing with it. A smaller, lighter hook section may only need the 0.3 g option, while a chunkier presentation can benefit from the extra weight of the 0.6 g sleeve.
You get three booms per pack, so this isn’t a huge bag of disposable links. Still, each one saves the fiddliest part of making a Ronnie rig and gives you a consistent starting point. Keep them straight in the tackle box, avoid crushing the fluorocarbon and they’re ready for a quick rig change when bite-time arrives.
There’s a bit of versatility here too. The boom isn’t limited to a Ronnie presentation. Pair it with a ready-tied ESP Chod Rig and you can create a hinged stiff rig, which is handy when the lakebed is a bit suspect or you want a different pop-up presentation without carrying loads of separate bits and bobs.
The main thing to remember is that this is a boom system, not a fully finished rig. You still need your chosen hook and hook section. That’s actually a positive for many anglers, because you can match the hook pattern and size to the situation. For anyone wanting a quick, tidy and stiff foundation for a Ronnie or spinner rig, it’s a bob-on bit of kit that cuts out plenty of faff.

Our take
Why this little boom matters
The ESP Fusion Boom takes one of the fiddlier parts of a Ronnie or spinner rig and sorts it in advance. You get a straight, approximately seven-inch boom made from 0.5 mm fluorocarbon, with a breaking strain over 30 lb. That’s a serious bit of stiff link material, built to kick the hook section away from the lead and stay pinned down.
The Streamliner sleeve is the clever bit. It secures the loop to the quick-change swivel, making the rig quick to attach and helping keep the connection neat. Choose the 0.3 g or 0.6 g tungsten sleeve to suit the hook and pop-up combination, then add your preferred hook section and you’re away.
Closer look
A stiff boom with the fiddly bit sorted
The ESP Fusion Boom is a ready-made, fused fluorocarbon boom for Ronnie and spinner rigs. It’s approximately seven inches long, made from 0.5 mm fluorocarbon and rated at over 30 lb. The material is super stiff and supplied straight, so it holds that kick-away shape rather than folding up around the lead.
The Streamliner sleeve secures the loop to the quick-change swivel, while the Ronnie Clip gives you a fast way to attach a ready-tied Ronnie hook section. The boom is designed to sink heavily and stay pinned to the lakebed, which is just the ticket when you want a clean, low-lying presentation.
Worth knowing. The 0.3 g and 0.6 g tungsten sleeve options are there to balance different hook and pop-up sizes. Don’t just grab one at random: match the sleeve weight to the rest of the rig so the presentation sits properly.
Who it suits
Ideal for tidy rig anglers who hate a faff
This is aimed squarely at carp anglers who like Ronnie or spinner rigs but would rather spend their time sorting the swim than tying stiff boom sections. It gives you a repeatable, neat starting point and makes hook-section changes quick when you’re preparing for a bite-time window.
It also suits anglers who want a proper anti-tangle boom for longer casts. The stiffness helps keep the hook section away from the lead in flight, while the sinking fluorocarbon helps the finished rig settle close to the bottom. It’s equally useful as the foundation for a hinged stiff rig with a ready-tied ESP Chod Rig.
Worth knowing. This isn’t a fully tied rig. You’ll still need to add your hook and complete the hook section, so keep the relevant components in the box before heading to the bank.
FAQs in full
The bits anglers usually want to know
Can you use it over weed? You can, but the boom’s stiffness and the rest of the rig still need matching to the lakebed. For clean or lightly choddy areas, it gives you a very tidy pop-up presentation. In thick weed, think carefully about lead system, hooklink length and whether the rig can settle properly.
How do you avoid ruining the boom? Keep it straight in a rig box and don’t squash it under heavy tackle. Super-stiff fluorocarbon is brilliant when it’s straight, but a hard kink is a different story. Check the loop, sleeve and clip before casting, particularly after a fish or snag.
Can it replace tying your own booms? For many sessions, yes. You lose some of the custom length and material choice you get when tying from scratch, but you gain speed and consistency. Three ready-made booms in the tackle box can be a proper time-saver when the rods are off and you need a fresh rig quickly.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Proper stiff and straight, so it kicks the hook section away and helps cut down tangles.
- Heavy-sinking fluorocarbon stays pinned to the lakebed rather than waving about in the water.
- Streamliner sleeve and Ronnie Clip make rig changes quick and tidy.
- Can also be used to create a hinged stiff rig with a ready-tied ESP Chod Rig.
Worth knowing
- You still need to add the hook and complete the hook section, so it isn’t a fully fish-ready rig straight from the packet.
- The very stiff 0.5 mm fluorocarbon can be less forgiving if you kink it or force it into a tight bag.
- Only three booms per pack, which may feel a bit lean if you’re changing rigs regularly.

What anglers want to know
The stuff you’d ask your mate on the next peg. Straight answers, no waffle.
01What do you need to complete the ESP Fusion Boom Ronnie rig?
What do you need to complete the ESP Fusion Boom Ronnie rig?
You’ll need a suitable Ronnie or spinner hook section, plus the hook and any bait-related components you normally use. The boom is the ready-made stiff section, not the entire finished rig.
02Which tungsten sleeve weight should you choose?
Which tungsten sleeve weight should you choose?
The 0.3 g and 0.6 g options are there to suit different hook and pop-up sizes. Use the lighter option for a smaller, lighter presentation and the heavier one when the hook section or pop-up needs a bit more balance and pinning down.
03Can it be used for anything other than a Ronnie rig?
Can it be used for anything other than a Ronnie rig?
Yes. The system can also be used to create a hinged stiff rig when paired with a ready-tied ESP Chod Rig, giving you another useful presentation from the same boom system.
