With the ever popular spinner rig being used everywhere I've been looking at alternatives that offer similar advantages. (Quick change of hook, low lying pop up, 360 movement etc)
I was playing around with a combi rig last night comprising of doubled over 20lb mouth trap pushed over the hook multi style, albright knotted to coated braid. I like the look of the presentation, but can't get my head around the loop slipping out of position. Does anyone in here use this presentation? Any advice please?

Look at the mike holly rig video on you tube.

Thanks. I've seen this before and it's not what I'm trying to achieve. I want a very stiff section for the pop up to help with anti ejection. I've just seen a Mark Pitchers video on youtube (Mark Pitchers Hinge Rig) that is similar actually, but he ties the stiff section to a ring swivel rather than using a knot.

Sorry i misunderstood the question. You could trim a piece of pva foam to put in the d on the cast if it helps your confidence in the d not closing on the cast. You could try a small piece of suitably size tubing over the hook eye. Have to test it and see what works best.

I have been messing about with this type of hook attachment, albeit not necessarily a pop up rig. With the stiff material, if you use a straight or slightly in-turned eye as opposed to a chod-type hook, the loop is locked in position. You might say it closes the gape, but only by the thickness of the line for a straight eye, barely more for an in-turned eye.

Those style hooks are better for the multi than a chod hook anyway imo

I've mentioned this on here before. This is all I use for my pop ups and I've still never lost a fish on it. Although I use it with a conventional stiff boom and ring swivel. For security and peace of mind I put a small korda hook bead one side and the larger one they do on the other side. Absolutely no chance it moving until you hook a fish. Then the hook ring swivel pulls tight against the large hook bead which also helps prevent any damage to the loop agains the eye.And can re use all the components. Maybe overkill to some, but works for me.
Just to add I use the esp chod hammer Hooks.

If you are using a boilie/pop up 13-15mm I would guess the 'loop' will not slip during the cast due to the wind drag created by the hook bait pulling towards the bend of the hook? I'm not a genius in physics but that's my take on it.

I've used Julian Cundiff's take on the multi rig for some time using 25lb skinlink which is quiet stiff .

I do this but I cut an ESP hook grip bead in half and use one either side, or just on the side nearest the ring swivel. Works well!

I've been using this rig for about 7/8yrs now, before I saw it publicised anywhere. I use a hook bead to trap the loop on the hook. Sometimes they need replacing because they slip after a bit of use but i've normally binned the hook by that point.
Incredibly effective rig I have found, I started using the loop on chod rigs too.
