It's A Muti Rig - Just Supercharged!

There are many amazing rigs which are perfectly suited for fishing in silt. The Hinged Stiff Link, a Snowman arrangement and, of course, the Multi Rig. This variant was devised by Carp Academy’s Adam Penning. The key difference with this version of the Multi Rig is that super stiff pop-up section. Formed from “at least 25lb Chod filament”, it’s not only stiff but very short too, meaning the pop-up is sat as close to the lakebed as possible. Whilst it may look fiddly to tie that stiff section at first glance, once it’s tied, just as with the original version of the Multi Rig, the hook can easily be changed if needed, without having to retire the entire rig. Finally, a semi-stiff-coated boom section eliminates tangles and is adjusted in length depending on the depth of the silt.
Things To Note:
- To get the best out of this rig, you need to tie the pop-up section out of the stiffish Chod material you can, so ideally, a minimum of 25lb (0.53mm).
- Use a baiting needle/Chod tool to help shape the ‘D’ so it sits perfectly
- When it comes to mounting your hookbait, you can use either a rig ring, hookbait swivel or bait screw—all will work fine.
1. Take 6-inches of your 25lb Chod material (if you can, go thicker!)
2. Fold in half and use your hook to gauge the length of the loop needed.
3. Then, form a smaller loop at the desired length using the tag ends.
4. Take a section of coated hooklink material with 3-inches of coating removed.
5. Whip around the main loop seven times and then three times back on itself.
6. Lubricate, bed down and you should be left with a 1-inch uncoated section.
7. Pass the mono loop through the front of the hook eye and slide on a rig ring.
8. Take this loop and fold it over the hook bend and point to form your ‘D’.
9. Add a small piece of silicone over the knot—this neatens the rig up nicely.
10. To counter-balance your pop-up, add some putty where the coating starts.
11. Tie on your chosen hookbait, either ‘Blobbing’ style or around the pop-up.
12. Finally, steam the hooklink material all straight and it’s good to go!
