Available in seven flavours including Pineapple, Krill, Tropical Peach, Skitzo, Creamy Coco, Grape, and Sweetcorn.
- High buoyancy ensures they stay positioned on the hook, making them effective in various fishing conditions.
- Infused with strong attractors and long-lasting flavour, they improve rig presentation and trigger confident takes.
- Offered in 14mm and 16mm options, suitable for different rig setups.
- These baits are essential for successful fishing sessions, especially for carp and other species.
Often pop-ups are brightly coloured or highly flavoured, to make them really stand out from any other bait around them, with the idea being that hopefully they get picked up more quickly by the carp, which actively home in on them in preference to your freebies.
They can also be exactly the same colour and flavour as all your freebies though, and work just as well, with the fact that they are fished an inch or two off of the bottom being enough to make them stand out from everything around them. Pop-ups are buoyant baits that float and are used to present a hook bait above weed or silt for better visibility, or even over a clear bottom to achieve a specific type of presentation.
Pop-ups do of course also have the advantage that they hold your hook completely clear of the bottom, so if there is debris such as silkweed, leaf litter or similar – or even thick weed if fishing them on a chod rig which settles on top – then it can get caught on the hook end of your rig, which is left completely clear to take hold in the mouth of any carp which picks up your bait.
How far your bait is popped up off of the bottom all depends on the presentation you are trying to achieve, and is typically one to three inches, although that often depends on your rig choice, and with pop-ups on Ronnie rigs typically fished much closer to the lakebed than those being used on a hinge stiff rig, where the bait is very obviously popped up clear of the deck.
