Exactly this. . .really good explanatory guides - even tempted to buy some of their terminal / based on the clarity

Finally finally sussed it by watching Luke’s tutorials! So much clearer than most others out there and he actually explains why he does things the way he does and what the pitfalls are if you do it differently. Also, all the filming is done as if viewed through his eyes, so you can copy exactly how it’s done.
I now don’t know where I was going wrong and every way I try it now, seems to work perfectly lol 😂.
Thank you so much for all your help guys.

Really clear and simple explanation here with a few useful tweaks! This is better IMO - Luke is worth following as all his rig tying guides are crystal

Watch from 1.10 - 3.20 - this is actually for the 'Revolver' rig but the whipping principle is the same - you can create an IQ D rig by simply finishing with a knotless knot. He uses 0.40 which is thinner than 20lb IQ2 (I think) so maybe try another brand if 0.50 is too thick. Worth watching the rest of the vid for how he gets consistency with his albright etc . . .
Create all my stiff 'D's like this and with 0.40 now whether combi or ronnie variants . . have zero faith in the rubber D rig kickers as they can stretch/warp on casts / after each fish

I think it is the same knot as used with spade end hooks but with the hook turned 180 degrees if that makes sense.
This knot but you have to hold the hook by the eye and not by the bend,
I just tried to tie it both ways with .40mm Syncro XT. The "german guy version" seemed to tighten down a bit better where the "spade end version" seemed to slip easily.

I think it's the first one in this video:-

Might help you and great watch - so many ways to 'snell' a hook.
FWIW, I think tying it that way you're always going to be susceptible to the issues you're having.

The method in the German video is the same as the one I can get to work 1/3 attempts. The problem I have with this technique is the change of whipping direction I believe. The stiffish fluorocarbon tries to fight you and carry on whipping up towards the eye and not towards the bend.
It’s the supposedly far easier method demonstrated on Rob Burgess’s Korda “demonstration isolation preparation” video that I would really want to master. It just looks so so easy, but I can’t do it at all lol. It’s driving me nuts!

That is the link, if you can get it to work.

There are two knots in the first video. First the knot that secures the D onto the shank - the knot Steve wants to master. And then as you say a standard knotless knot to tie the hook on.
I agree that the Ace video with Terry Hearn is great if you want to tie chod sections. Much better alignment with a proper snell/whipping knot.

There is also a video about the d-rig on the Mainline Baits Youtube channel but I think the close ups are better on the german video.
I seems the trick is to make one loop towards the eye of the hook and then whip across that and towards the bend with three or four turns.
I hope you will master it. And yes it does look neater than the silicone tube version, but rig mechanics wise I don't think there is much difference between the two.

Isn't that first link just the knotless knot? 
Check out the Terry Hearn video when he was with Ace trying HS Rig.
That is a pure, snell\whipping knot where the line remains inside the whipping.
Does take a bit of practise.

When I play that on my phone, it seems to have translated to English, so I’ll take that thanks.
Obviously I can tie the knotless knot with long tag end, ring swivel, back through the eye and blob with a lighter method that Matt Collins shows in the second link, but it’s the whipping knot version that I want to master because it just looks so much neater and well, better in my opinion.
I’ll study that first link today and hopefully I’ll crack it. Thanks Jesper 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you sooo much Jesper. I’ll have a watch and hopefully get that “Eureka” moment and wonder how I couldn’t do it before

At 8:55 this german guy shows how to do it: Language is german but you should be able to see it from the video alone. Otherwise a perfect excuse for learning german :-)
Linky poo
I use a piece of silicone instead like in this video:
D-rig with silicone sleeve

Please help. I’m having massive difficulty tying the whipping knot using 20lb IQ2. I’ve followed loads of tutorial videos on YT and about every 1 in 3 attempts I can get it to cinch up properly and it looks really neat. The other 2/3 attempts fail, resulting in me wasting a couple of foot of material. This method of tying it seems to be the most common, but trickier way.
I have also stumbled across a video on FB by Rob Burgess, filmed during lockdown, which demonstrates a “much simpler” way of tying it. I cannot, no matter how hard I try, get this way to work, at all…ever! I really really want to learn this way of tying it as it really does look so simple, but he keeps swapping from one hand to the other and then back again, so quickly that I can’t keep up. Also doesn’t help that he’s facing the camera, so it’s kind of back to front if that makes sense. Does anyone know of a tutorial video for this method of tying, but filmed from the tyers point of view?
Any help much appreciated, cos I really don’t know where I’m going wrong with what looks like such a simple knot.
Many thanks.
