Was with Korda iq - the softer one and using a rig swivel.
When I changed to D's out of the back of the hook not whipped onto the shank, it wasn't so bad but still happened once even with PVA bag attached - so maybe nuisance fish moving it around?

Very rarely had any issues with multi rig and popup. Don't know if same issue would happen if I used a wafter.
I was tempted to try the slip d with the same kind of material I use with a multi rig, but figured I may as well just use the multi rig with boilies/chops around it.
That's certainly what I'll be doing next weekend

never had an issue with the 'Korda IQ D Rig' . . . . but then I don't use Korda IQ!
Prefer to use 15lb Rigmarole CamH20 as its a much more 'workable' fluro . . .paired with a Gardner Mugga the trick is to ensure the whipping knot up the shank is solid and pulled mega tight so it doesn't move and allows the line to exit parallel with the back of the hookshank. I then slip on a micro ring swivel, again ensuring the swivel 'body' is not exposed and pushed into the underside of the bait fully. Simple knotless knot bedded down and ensuring the 'D' is bulbous enough / as required and again opposite the back of the shank and locked into position.
Its a weird rig because the angle the fluro exits the hook eye creates a narrower gape but its also 'aggressive' (whatever that means!) in its angle and seems to work / create problems for some fish . . . .always fished it with a wafter / heavy lead / no movement at the lead end end connection with a tungsten sleeve (either lead clip or cog rig). Caught my UK PB common on this rig so must have some kind of validity . . .

sounds like your D was too big or the method you used to attach the bait to the D had too much separation?
I have had this happen before but it's only occasional & not like you were having. I would get it when fishing multiple baits (stacks of maize / sweetcorn / multiple tigers). I found it can happen with German rigs too & it's frustrating as fvck. What bait were you using?

One was 16mm and the other 14mm wafters.
Glad I scratched the itch, but if I want to waft anything in the future I'll go back to a kd or scr and stick with the multirig.
Bet you were buzzing when that common dropped in the net Belch 👌

Would like to say it was the rig and the skill of me prepping and presenting on a dustbin at 100yds . . . reality was it was a pub chuck at least a wrap off the baited area (it fell short of the clip) in a storm and I was more bothered about getting back in my bag to keep dry. . .
