Thanks for the replies.
I'm not too keen on putting some extra tubing on, would rather keep it as simple as possible (but working correctly)
I'll put a bait on and swing it round a bit 👍🏼 See what happens

I would go for a low fished chod...but the style of baiting up has to be adjusted to the rig. With a chod I spread my freebies over a larger area to get them moving and picking up the single offers.

Can i ask what difference it makes? A low pop up is a low pop up, surely the spread baiting is the way with both?

With respect Ian, what does spinning a rig around in the air prove?! It's water resistance and impact that would concern me...

It proves it doesn't slip mate, I've been using the multi for many years now and never had one slip. It doesn't simulate anything like it would under water I agree, but it's the easiest way to put someone's mind at rest, and imo the loop is under more strain doing that than it ever will be under water. It's kind of another palm test, has no bearing on what the rig actually does but can give confidence.
I did tie one a couple of years ago with a chod hook and bristle filament as an experiment and that did seem as though it might slip, I think it was due to the bristle being too stiff, so I've never actually tried one tied like that.
For me, a semi stiff coated braid together with a slightly Inturned eye is the best combination for a multi. I do use chod style hooks occasionally, but have found hook hoods to be not quite as good with them

What hooks do you tend to use with a multi mate ?

Fair play mate. I've used them on and off over the years but never had consistent hookholds and had too many instances where I know I should have caught and didn't. A couple of times a change of rig produced quick results on the exact same spots which just put me off to be honest.
Of the last 3 bites I had on the multi's, 2 were hooked in the top lip!
Perhaps i should have tried them with in-turned eyes...

Definitely give them a go with Inturned eye hooks mate. I've had a great run with multis with Inturned eyes, think it's something like about 7 years since I last dropped a fish on them, they've been that good.

Have been using mostly fang twisters mate, but as they've changed their range I'm not keen on the new ones so I'm still playing about a bit when I actually get chance to get out. The thinking anglers cuve point and a similar one from bank tackle have been decent replacements

So assuming the loop wont move what's the best way to attach a pva bag ,I've read attaching it to the hook will definitely move the loop,would a pva stick slid down the hook link have any negatives affects on the multi

No idea mate, I don't use any sort of bag or stick when using popups. Using bags I want my bait in amongst it, not waving about an inch or 2 above the feed

Imo PVA and the multi do not mix. You're better off with a spinner/ronnie jobby.

Thanks for those pieces, Cam. Mike was the sole originator of the MR, despite what others may claim, and he has explained it perfectly in these three pieces.
I have got a huge photo archive of the MR and have posted many of the pix on here, they just need a bit of finding, that's all.
