How to Tie The Multi Rig

This fantastic rig allows you to change your hook within seconds. The Multi Rig, also known as the Jon Mac Rig to many, is only suited to fishing pop-ups. It features a D on the shank of the hook of which your pop-up is attached to via dental floss. 


The multi rig is very aggressive and if you look at the shape of it in the water it actually hovers like a claw – thus making is extremely difficult to eject once sucked in. Not only is it practically tangle free and can sit over the choddiest of lake beds, the hook can also be changed in a split second by simply adjusting the D – this refers to the shape that is created next to the eye of the hook.

Create a large loop in the material by tying a figure-of-eight knot. The size of the loop will determine the height of the popup Moisten the knot and pull it down tightly using a Knot Pulla.

Carp Fishing Rigs - The Ronnie Rig

This Rig is very special, and it's a rig that's been used successfully on the quiet (TOP SECRET) for a few years now, successfully being deployed as a tool pivotal in catching some phenomenally big fish from a number of waters. But now the word is out…

The Ronnie Rig offers the benefits of a super consistent low pop up presentation, fished the height of a hook and the swivel, but without the issues of a naked hook eye that has the potential for snaring landing net meshes and the problems that potentially occur to the 360 style rig.

It offers all the advantages of the rig mechanics of the Hinged Stiff Rig, but without the issues related to trying to fish them low (which isn't the optimum arrangement).

How to Tie The Ronnie Rig

Start by cutting a 1cm length of Large Covert Shrink Tube. Position the shrink tube onto the hook shank before mounting the size 12 Kwik Lok Flexi-Ring Swivel onto the hook eye.

Pull the hook eye onto the Kwik Lok crook. As you pull the hook onto swivel the Kwik Lok crook will distort slightly.

When pulled in fully just squeeze the crook closed with some pliers. Now position the Shrink Tube as shown, ready to shrink.

Shrink over a kettle of boiling water (be careful not to burn yourself). Now you can slide a size 20 Swivel onto the hook (if you're using corkballed pop ups substitute a Rig Ring).

Push a Hook Stop onto the hook Position the Hook Stop opposite the point as shown. An easy way of attaching the hookbait is to pull through a piece of dental floss and blob it with a lighter

Mould some Critical Mass Putty round the Shrink tubing so the pop up sinks slowly when tested. Tie your chosen hooklink material to the Flexi Ring and attach the finished rig onto your preferred lead arrangement.
