I also use size 6 Korda chod hooks on the multi rig.
I use tungskin in 35 lbs, it's still v supple and doesn't slip.

35lb tungskin very supple? Can't say I agree with that at all. It's pretty stiff imo.

Can anyone recommend a very supple coated braid? Most my fishing this year is from a boat so not too fussed about anti-tangle, just don't like the idea of an uncoated loop on the eye.

I'm thinking of giving the multi a go as I like the simplicity and versatility of it. Do people literally tie a loop and pass the hook through I.e. no extra gubbins?

Do you break the coating after the knot?

Tied one up last night using the esp semi stiff coated stuff and a size 5 trig hammer and I have to say it looks great! One thing is I've been using little mesh bags this year (casting at showing fish) and having a degree of success. I'm not sure I can do this with the old multi rig as it'll pull the loop closed on the cast. I have thought of putting a small piece of foam nugget in the loop to keep the shape. Does this sound like a ridiculous idea to people? I was previously using the slip d but I have to say I really like the look of the multi rig.

If you thread them down the hooklink and then Bury the hook into the bottom it does not pull tight.
If you want to knick it on the mesh it will I have messed about with pva nuggets in the loop but don't bother now. Just use singles or thread it on

Simple solution to this problem and have done this for years to great affect. Use the multi alot In my fishing. Put a piece of 0.5 hook silicone onto he hook link either side of the hook. This traps the hook in place and stops it from slipping. Give it 1-2mm from the eye on both sides to allow the hook to sit naturally

I use a hook bead to lock the loop in place. No idea if it does work with pva mesh bags but in theory it should.

Why would you want to use a bag with a popup? Free bait on the deck and hookbait waving about a few Inches above it doesnt make sense
