I’ve tinkered with a few different styles, but mainly use a size 6 hand sharpened mugga or a thinking anglers curve point

Second this. I have been using this pretty much exclusively for the last few years and to great effect. Wafters and pop ups the main two but I wouldn’t hesitate to use a bottom bait.

I’m really liking the Korda Hybrid Stiff. So easy to make multi-combi type rigs, without needing to tie an Albright knot. Beauty of Hybrid is that you can crimp it, so very easy to work with and keep rig lengths consistent etc. I’ve found the 0.6mm crimps to be the ones fyi. Once the rig is constructed, steam straight over the kettle, jobs a good’un!

There are, but surely you'd want to use the best rig for a particular bait rather than one that will just do?
I would imagine that's how most would think, a alternative might not be such a bad idea.

Or just a simple KD rig for wafters, pop-ups and bottom baits.

Multi-combi comes close perhaps. . .tied with stiff coated braid for less faff. Minimal metalwork compared to Ronnie . . .on the rare occasion I use a genuine pop up presentation I've been favouring the Withy - primarily because no one else probably is . .

Mike Holly's rig does it all and very easy to change hooks. Check it out on YouTube.

I use Ronnie rigs for wafters and pop-ups. When using pop-ups, i slide a Nash Tungsten swivel bead down the hooklength.

Yes you’re probably right mate. Just thought I’d ask other peoples opinions. I like the look of the multi combi rig. I think I’m going to give that a go for balanced baits and small pop ups.

Knotless knot = a simple, time proven, classic fish catcher
