I was worried for a while with the D slipping, so paid more attention to matching the hook-length to the hook or vice versa. Some chod hooks have larger eyes than others. This helped with the confidence if nothing else.

Has anyone experienced the opposite?! I had a few trips years back using a “multi hinge” type arrangement, doubled over bristle hook sections albrighted to a coated boom... purely for ease of swapping the hooks.
Contrary to the D closing I found it to open up which makes sense given how it would react on impact with the lake.
A disastrous run of hookpulls later I sorted my **** out and stopped messing around!

It's pretty much impossible for the hook to move/D to close buddy. The force is applied to the pop up, not the hook. If you're struggling to get your head round it you can always use a second hook bead to hold the D in place, or just add rig foam on the cast.

It doesn't happen, you don't need to do anything

When you get the chance, read this.
Mike Kavanagh seems to think that it doesn't happen and who's to argue with him when it comes to this rig.

The multi rig is very simple to tie,what concerns me is the loop that goes over the hook to form the D ,closing on the cast ,how do people make sure this does not happen ,any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hinge stiff rig on a helicopter set up....like it has been mentioned, you can adjust the top bead to suit. The rig is very adaptable, you can fish it low down like a ronnie or 3" off the deck, soft boom, stiff boom...worlds your oyster

Regardless of how many recommendations you get here I’d suggest not deciding what rig you’re going to use months in advance of fishing. Especially at a new lake you are not familiar with. Tailor your rig to the situation you are faced with. As Yonny said, the weed is unlikely to be up until mid May, weather dependant.
A rotary rig and most pop up rigs will present fairly well on the majority of substrates. Simply push the top bead up to suit.

I'd try a multi rig with braid and a big (#4) hook and leadcore if allowed.
As lonv as you always test your figs first if doesn't matter who made them, the main players have reputations to uphold.

Definitely the Ronny for me. I did have the hook pull problem but went from 6s to 4s and it completely cured it. Went from loosing 3 outa 5 to loosing 1 in 15 takes
