Pop-up rigs have sprung up in popularity over the last few years, igniting a need for extremely buoyant yet highly attractive pop-up hook baits.

It’s available in a wide array of flavours, including Fruit Poptail, Pukka Pear – which is one of my favourites – Aniseed Dream and Nut-Mix Scopex & Peach, to name but a few. Designed for use with chod rigs, stiff hinged presentations, multi rigs and more, they have been tested and proven to hold a size 4 hook up for eight days, at which point the team were satisfied and called it a day.
