Is there a risk that when the braided loop pulls tight up to the hook eye that the side of the eye with the gap can damage the line? Am I just being overly paranoid?

Never had that with a Conti

Yes you are being paranoid. I've been using the multi rig for many years with no issues at all

Early drawings of the multi show a second rig ring in position to prevent this happening but it's safe to use without it. You won't get any line damage.

Posted many a time but always worth posting so people get the jist of what the multi-rig was/is all about.

In nearly 20 years of using this rig, I've never tried it with a bottom bait for some reason always thought and was told that the mechanics wouldn't work with a heavy bait.

Might just give that a try next time I'm out 👍

I've been including a loop at the hook end of virtually all of my rigs for the last few years to enable quick change hooks & not had any issued with the eye part damaging braid / mono / chod link.

I actually like the idea as I think it helps having a doubled up, thick section as I don't seem to get as much mouth damage from braid cutting into it during the fight.


I have a couple of hook links that have had dozens & dozens of fish on them & I would still use them again.
