Spot on. The loop does not slip.

The loop will never close on the cast, it'sa non-issue. Think about it. It takes pressure on both the hook and lead to close the loop. On the cast the resistance is on the bait

Plenty strong enough. Like Joss said, makes tying combi’s a doddle

have you been using the ones with the small ring fused on? How strong are they? That small ring worries me a bit but like the idea

re the Gemini booms for this rig, ive recently been using them. massively impressed with them and makes tying them up even easier.

To stop it slipping use either a short length of silicon tubing or one of the many Kickers. They're resistive enough to stop the loop closing on a cast, but, will often close if you "get done" - or at least that's my belief.
You can easily change the hook by sliding the kicker of silicon tubing off.
Also, an alternative to using an Albright - you can use a boom section with a small ring crimped on, or Gemini do some booms with small rings fused on the end for attaching short braided loops for multi-rigs

Probably makes no difference in the real world but theoretically in terms of mechanics for a pop-up version I prefer having a supple bit between the weight and the stiff bit, this is what replaces the swivel in allowing the curved stiff part to spin.

I tried using a hook bead but still didn't really like it. I changed over from 20lb Mouthtrap to 30lb TA Recoil and it behaves much better. No chance of the D moving now. And if you give the rig a good tug, pulling the micro ring swivel down to the eye, it makes a handy kink in the D that looks really good. I'll give it a go this weekend. Thank for all the advice.

I thought this is what we were talking about with the hinged multi rig all along. This is what I use but the putty is over the knot with the uncoated section behind that and as mentioned a hook bead on the hook to trap the loop in place. On hard bottoms ill over weight the pop up. Produces some real solid hook holds.

Yep thats it, but for a bottom bait I give the end of the stiff section (wherre the knot is) a bend like a kicker and I use a wide gape or longshank hook so the d rig is locked in place.

Yes I like that alot

I’ll throw this into the mix although I fish it with only a small area of uncoated braid and putty mounted round the knot

And caught me a 35 linear & repeat 37 mirror from my syndicate a few weeks ago, the 35 linear is the reason for joining back in 2014.

Million per cent confidence in this rig right now.

In which case it is a stiff hinge rig.
