Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Anglers who want a quick, ready-tied carp rig. There’s no need to sit tying loops, sleeves and hook sections when you should be getting the rods off.
- Carp anglers fishing with Korda Lead Clips. The size 8 Ring Swivel is designed to slot into a Korda Lead Clip, making the setup straightforward and familiar.
Maybe skip if
- Tinkerers who like building every rig from scratch. You’re locked into the supplied Boom, braid, hook size and general layout rather than choosing each part yourself.
- Anglers fishing very soft, silty or choddy bottoms. The stiff Boom section is useful for separation, but a more flexible or specialised presentation may sit better in awkward lakebed.

Quick verdict
A proper handy rig when you want confidence without the faff
The Korda Combi Multi Rig Wide Gape X gives you a neat, ready-to-go presentation based on a popular combination of stiff Boom material and supple braid. The Wide Gape X hook brings plenty of bite, while the multi-rig arrangement lets you change a blunt hook without chucking the whole rig in the bin.
It won’t suit every angler or every bottom, and tying your own is cheaper in the long run. But for quick sessions, spare rigs and anglers who want Darrell Peck’s stated rig specifications in a tidy packet, it’s a cracking option.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Korda Combi Multi Rig Wide Gape X
There’s a lot to be said for having a few decent rigs ready to go. Especially when you’ve just arrived, the light’s fading and the carp are suddenly fizzing in the margins. That’s where the Korda Combi Multi Rig Wide Gape X comes in. It’s a ready-tied carp rig aimed at anglers who want a sharp, tidy presentation without the usual bench-side faff.
The basic idea is nicely straightforward. You get a stiff Boom section joined to a softer braid section, creating that classic combi-style arrangement. The Boom helps the rig kick away from the lead and keeps things from collapsing into a messy heap. The Slip D Braid gives the hook end more freedom to move and turn.
At the business end sits a Korda Wide Gape X hook. It’s available in size 4 or size 6, so you can match the hook to the bait and the size of carp you’re targeting. There are barbed and barbless options too, which is handy because fishery rules are never exactly the same from one lake to the next.
The Boom is 25lb, while the Slip D Braid is also 25lb. That gives the rig a fairly purposeful feel rather than making it a dainty, ultra-light presentation. It’s aimed squarely at proper carp fishing, whether you’re fishing boilies over a spread of bait, a single hookbait or a sneaky margin spot.
At the lead end, the Boom is crimped to a Korda size 8 Ring Swivel. That swivel is designed to slot into a Korda Lead Clip, so the rig fits neatly into a familiar lead system. If your box is already packed with Korda terminal tackle, the whole setup should feel refreshingly painless.
The multi-rig element is another big selling point. Once the hook has done its time or the point has dulled, you can replace the hook without throwing the entire rig away. That makes sense on abrasive gravel pits, around weed or anywhere you’re checking the hook regularly after a bite or a cast.
There’s also a confidence angle here. This rig was developed to Darrell Peck’s stated rig specifications and featured in the Korda Combi-Multi Rig Masterclass. That doesn’t make it magic, of course. Location, bait and a decent hook point still matter more than any packet of terminal tackle. But a clean, consistent rig can remove one more worry from the session.
The main compromise is customisation. If you tie your own, you can alter the hook size, Boom length, braid length and overall stiffness to suit the lakebed. With this one, you get the preset recipe. That’ll be bob on for plenty of anglers, but a bit limiting if you’re the sort who enjoys tweaking every last millimetre.
It’s also worth matching the rig to the bottom rather than blindly clipping it on. The stiff Boom should help with separation over firmer ground, but heavily silty, soft or choddy spots may call for a presentation designed specifically to settle into that mess. Used in the right situation, though, this is a tidy bit of kit that gets you fishing quickly and keeps the faff down.

Our take
The key angle
This is all about combining two different materials where they do different jobs. The 25lb Boom creates a stiff section that helps the rig kick away from the lead, while the 25lb Slip D Braid gives the hook end more movement around the bait.
The other big draw is convenience. Two rigs come ready tied, with the Boom crimped to a Korda size 8 Ring Swivel that’s designed to slot into a Korda Lead Clip. So you can get a rig fishing quickly instead of tying a combi multi rig beside the lake while the bite-time disappears.
What you’re buying
A two-material rig with a practical lead-end setup
The Korda Combi Multi Rig Wide Gape X combines 25lb Boom with 25lb Slip D Braid. The stiff Boom section helps the rig kick away from the lead, while the braided hook section offers more movement around the hookbait. That split is the whole point of a combi rig: each material gets a job rather than trying to do everything at once.
The rig uses a Korda Wide Gape X hook in size 4 or 6. The Boom is crimped to a Korda size 8 Ring Swivel, which is designed to slot into a Korda Lead Clip. Two rigs come in the packet, so you’ve got a spare ready for a hook-point check, a snaggy retrieve or a cheeky change of spot.
Worth knowing. The multi-rig layout means the hook can be changed without discarding the whole rig. That’s useful when the hook point has dulled but the Boom and braid are still in good nick.
Where it earns its keep
A strong choice for quick, tidy carp sessions
This rig suits anglers who want to spend their time finding fish, clipping up and getting bait in rather than tying rigs at the bivvy. It’s particularly handy as a spare in the tackle box, or when you’re doing short sessions and need to get a rod fishing sharpish.
It also makes sense if you already use a Korda Lead Clip system. The Ring Swivel is designed with that setup in mind, so there’s no need to invent a complicated connection. Pick the size 4 or 6 version to suit your hookbait and target fish, then make sure the barbed or barbless choice matches the fishery rules.
The preset design is less appealing to experienced rig-tiers who want to alter every detail. They may prefer buying Boom, braid and hooks separately. For everyone else, the consistency is a plus: each rig comes made to the same general recipe rather than relying on a rushed tie in poor light.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know before clipping one on
Is it only for boilies? No. The hook and overall presentation are aimed at carp fishing, but you can choose a suitable hookbait style for the situation. The key is making sure the bait, hair arrangement and hook size work together rather than treating the rig as a magic shortcut.
Should you use size 4 or size 6? Size 4 gives you a larger hook option for bigger baits or more robust fishing, while size 6 is a useful choice when you’re using smaller hookbaits or want a slightly more compact presentation. Always follow the lake’s rules and think about the carp you’re targeting.
Is it suitable for every lakebed? Not quite. The stiff Boom can be a real advantage over firmer ground, but very soft silt or chod may need a more specialised rig. Check the lead and rig after casting, and don’t be afraid to move if the spot isn’t giving you a clean presentation.
