Gemini Genie Connectors

Overview

The Gemini Genie Connectors are a double-ended quick-change rig connector from Gemini's Genie Rig System, built for sea anglers who make their own rigs. Each pack contains 10 connectors, essentially a double-ended version of Gemini's popular Genie Link Clip, with a quick-attachment point at both ends instead of just one.

This design allows two eyed components to be joined together mechanically rather than tied, making rig adjustments fast and straightforward. Gemini states that components in the Genie Rig System, including this connector, are produced in Great Britain, continuing the company's long-standing UK manufacture of terminal tackle since 1990.

Perfect For

Use these connectors anywhere your sea-fishing rig needs two eyed components joined without permanent tying — for example connecting a swivel to a rig body, or attaching a link to another eyed component. Because compatible eyed items can be added or removed in seconds, they suit modular rigs where components are regularly swapped, changed or replaced between sessions.

Technical Insight

Putting a quick-change connection at both ends, rather than the single connection found on the standard Genie Link Clip, is what sets the Genie Connector apart. This double-ended arrangement lets an angler link any two suitably eyed components directly together, without needing an eye on the connector itself to tie a knot to.

Gemini hasn't published a breaking strain, wire diameter or maximum eye diameter for this product, so it's worth checking that your chosen eyed components are compatible before relying on the connector for heavier applications.
