Martin Clarke invent the Slip D rig.

Mike Kavanagh invented the Multi Rig.

But, don't take my word for it. I say this because, apparently, I'm a former oompah loompah that worked in a Japanese (based in the U.K.) monofilament factory.

Anyway, the rigs look very similar, but are tied in completely different ways. The slip d, as tied by Martin Clarke, is tied using a knotless knot, with the hair, or tag section folded back on itself and wrapped with the turns that make up the knotless knot.

The multi rig, which can be used in a multitude of ways, hence the name, is tied with a loop knot, such as a figure 8, or non slip loop.

Both knots can be seen tied on YouTube... google is your friend.

Apologies for the sarcasm

Sorry to chime in, but if you were the expert you claim to be, you'd know the difference between the Slip D rig and the Multi Rig.

I won't bother explaining the difference to you, because of course...you're an expert 😂

With what, exactly?

I put up a link several posts ago and it's been ignored. Now I've shown what's Terry Edmonds' Facebook page and that's still getting ignored.

So, basically can't disprove what I've been saying and claim that I don't know what I'm talking about.

Ok

Tuitions have been interesting this week from boiling hot and sunny to wet through lol. Loads of gains 20lb fluorocarbon being cast 140 yards, to 15lb 0.37mm straight through over 150 yards. Technique proving once you understand, you can cast anything.

Re spooled my spools ready for the weedy lakes on my syndicate, also one that sinks decent 👍🙌

Yeah, they'll crack off because of angling error. It's not the line and it's not the lead. 0.37mm can easily cope up to 150 yards straight through. But, beyond that stick a leader on.

4oz is well within tolerance. So, why would you want to use light leads on a deep large lake with loads of undertow? Doesn't make sense

You know what I was getting at, mate. All you've done is split hairs with everything.

You haven't been able to disprove what I've been saying, and this is the level that you stoop to just for kicks.

Bravo 👏

So, you're saying it can't be done. Here's the proof of what I've been saying about 0.37mm mono. This is what Terry Edmonds said on his Facebook page on 11th May.

Freespirit 13ft 3.5 su CTX and Daiwa windcast being cast 185 by my client 10lb line and leader. Also had casts to 160 yards 0.37mm mono and leader. 4.5 ounce leads being used to combat the wind ✌️

Here we go, splitting hairs again.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
