    Great rig tying video Steve, nothing left to guess work, the drawings will help anyone who needs that extra information that most rig videos don't show, everything is explained to a tee. Great rig, great components and a great walkthrough and if you don't already have this rig in your armoury, Get on it. Tight Lines fella. Steve M

    Yes Steve that rig ticks all the right boxes for me too,reason I like it is that when the fish blows it out it's got a lot of weight and awkwardness with the pivot of the swivel plus the d which combined with the snow presentation of the boilies is perfect for hooking the fish in the bottom of the mouth!!! I also have 99% hook holds with this rig to,I just use a slightly bigger book though! Great minds think a like Steve lol✊thanks Danboy

    yes theoretically you can use it for any of those baits, I don't personally use it for pop ups as I prefer a hinge rig for that but I've used it for bottom baits, snowman's and wafters with success - and I've no doubt it would catch with pop ups too.

    Good rig Steve which I use myself. One question. Why not use it as a slip d multi? It has two advantages over the standard.slip d. 1, you can change hooks quickly and keep the same boom for a long time. Two you can adjust the length of the d depending on what baits you want to use. I see basically the same components as you but just tie a 3.5cm loop in the stripped section and then attach the hook ring swivel and the hook multi rig style and secure it with the tungsten kicker. You can even make up baits already attached to hook ring swivels and then just loop them on as needed. Just a thought to make things even more efficient and simple. I can't see an advantage of securing the d with a knotless knot.

    Yes we actually did a Nash podcast on rigs and talked about this. Alfie Willingale uses the Slip D multi style and I thought that it would be the ideal version too but I tried it and just didn't like the way it worked, for me it just wasn't quite as good as tied knotless knot style. I'm all for making things easier but I have to believe I'm using the best version for me.

At the end of the day we have to use what we are confident in..you have caught more big fish than I will ever catch so your version obviously works for you. I can't say I have tried the two versions side by side. I'm interested to hear why you prefer the original version over the slip d multi?

    Why an earth wouldn’t you just put the baits on to the swivel with floss?? It’s so quick and easy, also very effective. Please don’t think I’m being rude as I’m not - I just don’t get the extra work … the reason I ask is that I actually had my on of 68lb on double plastic corn pulled down so the small end of the swivel was just tucked into the corn and then just trim off the floss and blob it down 👌🏼
