I've just tied a couple of d-rigs for the first time for use on my pop-up rod, these have been tied using size 8 esp g-4 barbless hooks and a 5 inch stiffish 15lb flouro hooklength and I'm using 16mm pop-ups. Until now i've pretty much stuck to standard knotless knots on all my rods, bottom bait or pop up. Although the d-rigs were a bit of a pain in the ar5e to tie I can't help but feel quietly confident in them and i'm wondering whether it's something I should be pursuing on my other rods with bottom baits? I've tried line alligners before but didn't get on with them, they actually seemed to get more dropped runs, ould this be due to the fact that I tend to fish small baits and therefore small hooks usually super specialist size 10's? I hardly ever fish anything bigger than a 10mm boilie and my rigs are used to target tench and bream as well so I don't want to start upping the size. Bites are few and far between at the lake I'm fishing (could be cos I'm rubbish! No bites in about 10 overnighters) so I really want to develop a rig I'm confident in. Has anyone got any advice on rigs they've used, hair lengths etc? hopefully we can get another healthy debate going cos I'm sure you knowledgeable chaps will have lots of varying opinions.
