How do these rigs differ and which is more effective for using a wafter?

I have absolutely no idea what a slip D rig is, so i just googled it. Its very similar to what i use for wafters, and it IS a multi rig. Why do people keep trying to rename rigs.

Exactly why I asked. I'm using multi rigs at the moment and I googled slip D rig and I can't see the difference?!

Lots of people saying they prefer Slip D for wafters but I can't see how a Slip D has any advantage over a multi rig for wafters.

Multirig is a loop through the eye of the hook what makes it easy to change hooks if one would be blunt.

A slip d rig uses a knotless knot to connect the hook to the hooklink.

Do they both perform the same when using wafters though?

Just looked properly, so it does. The knot was covered with silicone.

A multi rig is tied from a stiffer material like a coated braid. A slip d rig is tied with a supple braid on the hook which gives more movement to the bait, a bit more like a blowback rig. They are not the same rig.

Sorry to chime in, but if you were the expert you claim to be, you'd know the difference between the Slip D rig and the Multi Rig.

I won't bother explaining the difference to you, because of course...you're an expert 😂

Martin Clarke invent the Slip D rig.

Mike Kavanagh invented the Multi Rig.

But, don't take my word for it. I say this because, apparently, I'm a former oompah loompah that worked in a Japanese (based in the U.K.) monofilament factory.

Anyway, the rigs look very similar, but are tied in completely different ways. The slip d, as tied by Martin Clarke, is tied using a knotless knot, with the hair, or tag section folded back on itself and wrapped with the turns that make up the knotless knot.

The multi rig, which can be used in a multitude of ways, hence the name, is tied with a loop knot, such as a figure 8, or non slip loop.

Both knots can be seen tied on YouTube... google is your friend.

Apologies for the sarcasm

Where have i claimed to be an expert

Ive never heard of a Slip D rig. I couldn't tell you how to tie a ronnie rig or a Turbo rig or whetever it is this week. Id bet youll find an awful lot of other people on here are the same. No interest in all these rigs and who claims to have invented them.
