NASH KNOWHOW
1
Tie an overhand loop at one end of the hooklink with the coating left on. The longer the loop the more the hookbait will be popped up. Minimum loop length is just longer than the hook itself.
How to tie…. the Multi Rig The Multi Rig is today’s go anywhere pop up presentation. Extremely versatile and offering brilliant hooking mechanics the D loop of the Multi Rig allows the upright hooking section to spin aggressively, searching to take hold as soon as the hookbait is lifted off bottom. Hook holds also tend to be absolutely rock solid in the middle of the bottom lip, meaning very few losses. One of the biggest plus points to the Multi Rig is its practicality, the link remains the same but the hook can be changed quickly without changing the rig. If big hits of fish are anticipated, or ‘bite-time’ is a short window, a new super sharp hook can be threaded on with no snipping, threading or looping of fresh links or rummaging around rig boards. You’re ready to fish again in seconds.

Pass the loop through the eye of a Chod Twister hook from the underside. Then pass the point of the hook through the loop so that the hook is now attached to the loop.

Moisten the silicone and pass over the loop knot and onto the eye. This helps hold the hooklink in place.

Pass the hookpoint back through the loop to secure the hook back in position.

Pass a small section of 1mm Silicone Tubing onto the hooklink.
Pass the loop back down over the hook point and slide a metal rig ring over the parallel strands of the overhand loop. A relatively large 3mm rig ring gives greater free movement in the finished rig.
Pass the hookpoint through the micro-hole at the flat end of the Clinger and push round the shank of the hook to form the enlarged D loop.
Strip a small section of coating back below the loop knot. This increases the movement and improves hooking. Add Cling-On putty to balance the pop-up. Tie or thread a bait on to the rig ring and you’re ready to go.
