What’s the benefit of using a D-rig set-up as opposed to a standard hair rig?

Tom Maker:

I love the use of a D-Rig, not necessarily as I believe it’s a better presentation than the hair, but for the ease of tying and how it suits my style of angling. With my angling being very fast paced, I need a rig which I can be confident wont tangle, can present a hookbait which allows movement between the hook and bait and also one which if it did get picked up and ejected, is capable of resetting itself and still be fishing effectively.

If I’m fishing over a fairly clean area, I know for a fact this rig will be fishing and the chances are, a bite will be just around the corner!
