greekskii Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I'm normally using size 4s or 5s which means the eye is large enough to allow some minimal movement. I also get paranoid it might move when hitting the water, leaving me with a rig that isn't effective and me leaving it out for 12hrs+.ย snowmanstevo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 My first multi rig probably a bit high but may still work, need a smaller loop but I went for 2 stops I wasn't happy with 1 I wanted to take it off and turn it but it was stuck on so I added another, and actually I quite like how it works having the loop sit between the two,ย ย yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just start again mate. Not worth it. p.s. you're right, the first hook stop is upside down. Those lakes are not easy. 'Close enough' with any aspect of your fishing is not good enough imo. Cut the hook stop off and do it right or start again from scratch bud, it's a 5 minute job.ย ย On 03/06/2019 at 10:35, elmoputney said: My first multi rig probably a bit high but may still work Again, not worth sitting there blanking to find out mate. If you think it's too high, bin it and start again. The key to catching lots of tricky carp is to have every tiny percentage working in your favour. Close enough is not the one! elmoputney, oscsha and snowmanstevo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmanstevo Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Practise makes perfect mate,tie a few even with some mono if you donโt want to lose braid youโll soon get use to the size of loop you need and the break in the coated braid is too big just a small nick is all thatโs need. Before you know it youโll be doing loops just big enough to get round your hook and have a nice well presented multi-rig. 90% of my rigs are multi-rigs I have total faith in them and have been using them for around 4 years. They are a decent bottom bait rig,as well ๐๐๐ฃ greekskii and yonny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yonny Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 For sure @elmoputney, I don't use the multi a lot but it's no secret it's a fantastic rig. Perfectly suited to weedy waters in the area you're fishing too๐ elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Totally agree with you should be the perfect pop up rig for me at presentย I run out of my esp coated braid today just ordered some of bank tackles coated braid, I got sent a sample of it and I liked what I saw, I do like there hooks as well tbh, got a few different types to play with now,ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Just remember you need to check them if you get anything that resembles a pick up, I thought I had a line bite last week turns out I'd been done and my rig wasn't performing for a while after thatย Or as Danny Fairbrass would say my rig was on the dance floor but with its trousers and pants rounds it's ankles getting laughed at even by breamย That's the only real downside I can see to the multi rig it doesn't reset itself, if you're not sure give it a recastย ย finchey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
