Love the multi rig, can't be doing with tying baits on though, bait bands all the way! I do prefer a small number 4 shot on the break of the braid if I'm using bottom baits with it, seems to hook better, although only lost one fish on this rig!

Must admit I hadn't used the changeable hook rig until Gary Kimbell showed it to me on Grenville last summer and I ended up playing around with it quite a bit and catching with it too. There are many sessions in the past when the fish have been coming thick and fast where being able to change the hook rather than having to change the whole rig would have been very useful and time saving indeed. I'm surprised we don't see it mentioned and used more. Interestingly Gary was playing a big fish at Grenville when someone pulled up behind to watch. Eventually the fish was in the net and low and behold it was Micky Kavanah the inventor of the rig. Gary was finally able to thank him for it!
