You can always tie a bit of a hair to the ring on the d to give you the separation for a bottom bait. I do the same with the multi rig

It will work, but I feel there is rigs better suited to take advantage of a sinking bait, I've used it with bottom baits when I've left the wafters at home though lol

Exactly!
Roger Smith came up with the D-rig at the same time as Rod Hutchinson came up with the sliding or extending hair when Savay carp started sucking and blowing baits to test them.
I've used it for bottom baits and caught on it no problems.
I must admit it is my 'goto' pop-up presentation and also for snowman baits with fluorocarbon or Amnesia.

I've caught loads of fish on d rigs using a bottom bait.
I'm pretty sure that Roger Smith first used it with bottom baits and he caught one or two.

The slip D was designed for bottom baits.

Personally I think not.
the D rig works best with balanced baits i.e wafters - as its designed to 'hang' underneath when the fish takes in the bait. For a heavier bottom bait i prefer more separation between hook and bait, and ideally some sort of anti-eject properties eg blowback rig.
Just my opinion though - certainly not gospel

Hi, as title suggests is the d rig as effective with bottom baits as it is with wafters?
