I'm using size 6 korda chod hooks and 25lb hook link but even when doubled over the line is really slack through the hook eye!
Any ideas how to tighten this up? Just doesn't seem to hold well and slips through so easily or doesn't hold the d part.

Silicon tubing over the eye.

Just tied one up using a size 4 kurv shank and it's alot better. Hook sits very aggressively but looks like it will work well.
What hook would you suggest?

Rarely used the Multi-Rig but when I have, I have always used a hook that has a inturned eye.

The esp trig hammers are a nice hook to use on the multi.
As said don't use a chod hook unless you're using the stiff multi variation that's been popularised in recent years.

I only use multis unless I put a zig or chod on. So versatile

Hate those trig hammers, when I used them I kept having fish fall off

Not had one so far, fingers crossed it stays that way! Had great hook holds with balanced tigers just sitting above the hook laid flat on the deck.
Are you sure?
