Key Benefits & Product Performance

🎣 Darrell Peck’s Masterclass Mechanics

This off-the-shelf version eliminates any guesswork. The Combi Multi Rig has accounted for thousands of massive carp across the UK and Europe. It works by keeping the hook link pushed completely away from the lead using the stiff boom, while the supple Slip D Braid allows the hookbait absolute freedom of movement. When a carp sucks in the bait, the rig reacts instantly, dropping the heavy hook point into the bottom lip.

🔄 Lightning-Fast Hook Changes

One of the single greatest advantages of the Multi Rig style is the ability to change your hook in seconds without discarding the entire rig. The loop design allows you to easily slide off a dulled or turned hook point and loop on a fresh, razor-sharp Wide Gape X hook seamlessly. This maximizes the lifespan of your stiff boom section and keeps you fishing efficiently during a heavy feeding spell.

🛑 Anti-Tangle & Reset-Ready Peace of Mind

Tying rigs with 25lb Korda Boom ensures that your presentation lands flawlessly every single time. It provides a stiff, memory-free kick-back that prevents the rig from tangling around the lead system on the cast. Furthermore, if a nuisance fish or bird picks up and drops the bait without hooking up, the spring-back memory of the fluorocarbon boom resets the rig perfectly on the lakebed, keeping you 100% effective until a carp arrives.

Pro Tip: Because the loop on the Multi Rig creates a slightly doubled-over profile along the hook shank, it is absolutely perfect for holding large, buoyant pop-ups or heavy wafters. Balance your hookbait perfectly by wrapping a small smear of Korda Dark Matter Tungsten Putty around the crimp or the base of the braid loop. This keeps the rig pinned beautifully flat against the lakebed while allowing the hook to hover aggressively in the take position.

Perfect Applications

• Pop-Up & Chod-Style Presentations: Exceptional when fished with bright pop-ups, food-source pop-ups, or cork-ball baits positioned just an inch or two off the lakebed.

• Wafter & Balanced Bottom Baits: Highly effective for presenting critically balanced wafters on clean gravel, clay, or hard sand spots.

• Lead Clip Boating & Distance Casting: The stiff crimped boom is engineered to handle hard distance casting on traditional lead clip setups without the slightest risk of wrapping or tangling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the “Wide Gape X” version different?

The Wide Gape X pattern features a slightly heavier gauge wire than the standard Wide Gape, making it incredibly strong and perfectly suited for snaggy venues, heavy weeding, or targeting large continental carp. This specific version features a ultra-sharp micro-barb for maximum hook-hold security during the fight.

How does the rig attach to my leader or mainline?

At the base of the 25lb stiff boom, the line is cleanly crimped onto a standard Korda Size 8 Ring Swivel. This swivel is perfectly sized to push directly into the rubber sleeve of a Korda Lead Clip or run smoothly on a helicopter/chod safety system.

Can I reuse the boom section after catching a fish?

Absolutely. As long as the 25lb Boom fluorocarbon isn’t kinked or nicked, you can use it repeatedly. If the hook point dulls after a fish, simply unloop the hook, slide a brand-new barbed Wide Gape X into position, re-secure the loop, and cast back out.
