It's pretty much impossible for the hook to move/D to close buddy. The force is applied to the pop up, not the hook. If you're struggling to get your head round it you can always use a second hook bead to hold the D in place, or just add rig foam on the cast.

It doesn't happen, you don't need to do anything

When you get the chance, read this.
Mike Kavanagh seems to think that it doesn't happen and who's to argue with him when it comes to this rig.

The multi rig is very simple to tie,what concerns me is the loop that goes over the hook to form the D ,closing on the cast ,how do people make sure this does not happen ,any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hinge stiff rig on a helicopter set up....like it has been mentioned, you can adjust the top bead to suit. The rig is very adaptable, you can fish it low down like a ronnie or 3" off the deck, soft boom, stiff boom...worlds your oyster

Regardless of how many recommendations you get here I’d suggest not deciding what rig you’re going to use months in advance of fishing. Especially at a new lake you are not familiar with. Tailor your rig to the situation you are faced with. As Yonny said, the weed is unlikely to be up until mid May, weather dependant.
A rotary rig and most pop up rigs will present fairly well on the majority of substrates. Simply push the top bead up to suit.

I'd try a multi rig with braid and a big (#4) hook and leadcore if allowed.
As lonv as you always test your figs first if doesn't matter who made them, the main players have reputations to uphold.

Definitely the Ronny for me. I did have the hook pull problem but went from 6s to 4s and it completely cured it. Went from loosing 3 outa 5 to loosing 1 in 15 takes

Multi rig is a firm favourite for me. Highly underrated, highly versatile, have used it as long as 2 foot long fishing in weed with the bead to my rotary rig a foot up the leader. Worth having a go, has tricked me some very old big rare carp over the years.

Would a chod be my best bet
Only if you cannot find spots to present properly on mate.
what material for the leader, fluorocarbon or a lead free option
Up to you, I would prefer leadcore or leadless if rules allowed. I even go for a nice beefy mono leader over fluoro but that's just me, not a massive fluoro fan.
As a lead free option is soft, is that an advantage or not in low weed?
Imo it's an advantage over any substrate, but loads of people use fluoro so it can't be all bad.
as I will not need many I might buy some ready made. Thoughts please guys.
Again, your call. I'd not use a ready made rig if you paid me. Imagine losing the biggun on one, you'd shoot yourself lol.

Yeah I know lots do, but like I said I'm a huge fan of the multi, it's been brilliant for me so I've not found the need to change. I might have a play about with the ronnie on a runs water one day, but not at the minute. Not playing about with my rigs when I'm hopefully back after a rather nice lin you know all about.. That's no place for experimenting
