This presentation came from the mind of Korda founder Danny Fairbrass and has regularly featured on Thinking Tackle and his firm's Underwater DVDs. It's a highly efficient stiff rig that works perfectly with wafters, snowmen setups or bottom baits.

Step-by-step guide to tying the IQ D rig
- Take a length of fluorocarbon (this rig is named after Korda's IQ fluoro) and a curved-shank hook. Loop the hooklink and tuck the tag end in the back of the eye to keep it out of the way.
- With your other hand, begin to wrap the loop around the hookshank and the trapped tag end.
- Keep wrapp the loop around the hook five or six times.
- Pull the knot tight by pulling the tag end (the one you tucked into the hook's eye).
- Trim the tag end of the knot closely and carefully 'blob' the end with a lighter to secure it.
- Take the line exiting from the top of the knot and thread on a bait swivel before taking the line through the eye from the back to the front.
- Tie a standard knotless knot to secure the hook in place.
- The D section can be shaped with a Biro or rig tool to create the desired shape.
