If you’re looking for the ideal pop-up to tip a snowman rig then these are well worth checking out. The tiny sizes in these tubs are a fairly recent addition to the Baitcraft range, and every one is well rolled, smells brilliant and stays popped-up for a very long time. I particularly like the Juicy Fruit, Tutti and Snowball versions, but see no reason why the others won’t be equally successful. Marc CoulsonRRP: £6.
