More bait separation with a d rig, especially if you're using a big bait, or a big bait in relation to a smallish hook. I suppose it's a question of balance. See if it looks right when you tie one up with a bait on and try the same bait on both types of set up.

Not without the D part
But,
you could push the line back through the hook bead to create the D blob it to stop it pulling back through and then form a knotless knot to lock it in.
The bead could potentially move to create a multi rig in effect and you could see if you have been done like a piece of silicone
But it will not reset if that’s the kind of rig you want to use unless you glued the bead in place

Would you say a hook bead on the hook, placed opposite the barb then a micro ring swivel on the hook, acts more or less the same as a IQ D rig, whether tied with coated braid or a stiff mono
