Hey,

Anyone got any neat methods of weighing down a buoyant pop up like corkers, proper jobs, Hayward specials etc on the multi rig. Looks like I've attached a boulder

Thanks

Fox quick change weights are good

Split shot and some putty around it to find right ballance.

Yeah that's what I'm using atm but it's massive maybe I got a batch of extra buoyant specials lol

Nash tungsten beads.

That's what I use, they sit perfectly on rig.

Just use a AAA shot. That holds down a Proper Job pop up.

Bigger swivel on your D, sounds like a size 8 might be needed.

Putty.

Bigger hook

You can use lead wire piercing the pop up. But this will defeat the purpose of using buoyant pop ups.

They are very very useful the fox weights , simple yet perfect for the job. last for years too

I don't know if this will help. The multi rig I tie is literally a hook, ring, line then weight to pin down the popup so no scaffolding.

So that it doesn't look like I have a malteser holding the rig down, I've been threading a tungsten dropper which I then wrap with lead wire and still have to wrap some putty around that.

Quite a faff, but at least now I have sleek mini twix on my rigs which is a little more discreet 😂.

Reality is the fish probably don't care...

Drill/core out centre of pop up and add tungsten putty or split shot.
I still do that with bottom baits to turn them into either wafters or pop ups with foam or cork sticks
