** Multi Hinge Rig **



The multi rig and hinged stiff rig alike have both been well documented by some of the most well known "big carp" anglers in the country. The likes of Terry Hearn, Nigel Sharp and Jon McAllister (the list goes on...) have spoken in depth of the rigs efficiency to hook carp.


How to



The components that you will need to tie this rig. 



Cut off a length of your chosen stiff rig filament, the size will determine the height of the pop up.
Double the material over and slide on a "Stiff Rig" style hook.
Place a Micro Hook Ring Swivel onto the filament and create the "multi section".


Pinch the end of your filament at the height you want your pop up to sit. I prefer a short section - just enough to be able to replace the hook.


Take your chosen hooklink material and remove some of the coating.


Thread the uncoated braid through the doubled material.
Using an albright knot whip up the chop filament 6 times and back down a further 4. Threading the tag back through the doubled material the way you entered. 



Moisten the knot as you go will make it easier to bed down.
Using the tags and slow pressure - gently pull the knot tight.


Finish the braided section with a figure of eight knot to form a loop. Also, mould rig putty around the knot to balance the pop up. 


Using bait floss - thread on your chosen bait.


A subtle pop up rig that allows you to present a bait low to the bottom, having the 360 degree movement in which the hook can flip and grab hold. The Multi Hinge Rig holds the same stiffness element of a hinge stiff rig with the Multi rig's ability to change the hook.
