I've been using both a d rig with both the line whipped onto the hook and with a loop threaded back through the eye like you do with a chod. I've tried claws, conti's and the esp chod hook.
Id say 6 or 7 times out of 10, I've wound in with the wafter has twisted around the hook and last night I dropped 2 fish 😬.
Before I bin it off and go back to my old faithful multirig, is there a dark art to preventing the bait wrapping around the hook because I do like the thought of Fluoro right down to the hook?
Cheers

If you found the multi rig faithful, why did you change? (Imo the multi is a better rig )

Rig foam through the loop or around the bait/hook perhaps ?

Used the multi rig for nearly 20 years, fancied trying one of these new spangly wafter rigs. Starting to wish I hadn't because those two fish would have been in the net!

Yeah terrible rig. Will be leaving those behind.
Can't believe I got done by the hype 🤦♂️

Perhaps it's the size ratio between the size of hook, bait size, and loop size. Also the method of attaching the bait could come into play. Thousands of people swear by this rig. They can't all be wrong.

99% of my carping is wafters on a multi-rig.
It's rare I lose a fish (I've jinxed myself now saying that!)

I've use pliers to tighten the "shank" knot. Korda Krimp tool is doing the job.
Also might help if you switch to mini swivel (without the O ring) or just O - ring for bait attachment. This will prevent "bait tangling".

I've been pretty much the same in my fishing since forever bud.
But I wanted to try a rig with fluoro to the hook and a wafter for a couple of months whilst the weed is low.
I've tried booms and that just didn't look/sit right on the bottom hence a move to D rigs.
Shame someone doesn't do a clear or fluoro coated braid, think that would give me what I was after on the multirig.

Used to use that stuff back when Les was involved with them.
Was good stuff probably still is, but my eyes don't work like they did so really fiddly to get the inner out.
What I'd like is like the original Korda coated braid that had a fluoro outer and plain almost cream coloured braid in the middle.

I'm a bit puzzled why this would occur more than with a multi rig? Surely the multi rig is fundamentally just another form of d rig?
Personally it's rare for me to cast out without a stick or foam covering the hook, other than the chod rig sometimes.

I used to fish with the D rig frequently and found that it does not work well with soft or thin materials. The issue I encountered was similar to what you described or go the other way with stiffer material and it would stick up in the air if it landed on debris. I found that amnesia worked best with this rig in the end

Had the same issue with the slip d rig with braid. Hook bait wrapping around the hook. Could use pva or starch nuggets if you can be arsed with the Phaf. Went over to a d rig with fluro for that very reason. Can't understand how a stiffish material like fluro carbon is wrapping around the hook. I've not had an issue. How you attaching the bait? I use a mini rig swivel.
