Sure, I'm not that paranoid (except with mosquito repellent). Though its easier to just use a rig ring, so theoretically it seems to have a double advantage.

Most the loops for the bait fell apart. I didn't catch anything from using pop ups/multi rig so I casted out a basic hair rig into the middle of the lake with a manilla boilie and caught a 5lb14 Mirror carp. I was happy to not blank on my first session of the year..

What do you mean about the loops falling apart?

I'm guessing you mean the way you tied on the baits to the rig ring.
get your self some floss.

there are loads of videos that will show you how to tie on a bait with floss
heres one done by Angling Direct
LINKY

I prefer using a needle and blobbing rather than tying a loop, see video at 3:11

well you did when you went fishing Joss
I use small baits so not so keen on the bait screws, but they are great for bigger baits
