The multi is pop up rig so I assumed you'd be using popups? Can't really see the point of using the multi with bottom baits

I'm stripping the coating on the loop and trapping it with some silicon over the eye. Almost a slip d but with the benefit of being able to change the hook over. I've been using balanced baits and a small bag of various bits and bobs this year and moving on fish in the short time I get to go fishing this year and been doing ok.

I can't see how stripping the coating on the loop has any benefit tbh.
I use the multi with balanced hookbaits, tigers mostly, as the bait sits directly above the hook and masks it. The multi is versatile so you can use it with bottom baits too, you just need to adjust it slightly. For balanced baits I try to have a smaller gap between the hook and the knot of the loop than you would with a pop up.

If anything removing the coating will make it far more likely to slip

Definitely not just a pop up rig. I can't do links but there are 3 parts to the below, they show how to tie it and the different options you can achieve with it.

Actually works great with bottom baits. I make small braid loops that I put on the same as you would a rig ring but pull the multi loop down tight to trap it and create a kd type hair. Sits at a nice angle with good bait separation and you can change back to a pop up in seconds, also being doubled up is less prone to tangling than a kd

I know full well how to tie it,I've been using it for about 20 years... Just dont see the point of using it with bottom baits. A simple spotless knot is a far better choice for bottom baits imo

It works wonders on a bottom bait and wafters. It is the only rig I use and it works for every style of bait goes nice on a snowman too. Hence its name multi rig

I never said it didnt work. I said I don't see the point . It's all I use for popups. Used it for bottom baits, but prefer a simple knotless knot. It was first touted as a popup rig btw

Agree what it was touted for but having lost count of huge fish I have had on bottom baits and snowmen with it I see no need to change at all . Hook patterns o the other hand and overhand loop size 😉
