They are the most buoyant, perfectly round pop ups i have ever used. Did well on the maple cream but struggled on everything else

Beware the 13mm they are too buoyant unless you are using them on a zig or maybe a chod with a really heavy leader and a lot of putty

11 mm white squid size 4 mugga on a ronnie and still need putty.
Them squid and octopus in 11mm white are a bit special.

I use the 11mm baits on a hinge stiff rig with a size 5/6 hook and it holds it up well. I use ESP tungsten droppers and usually still need to add extra putty to get it to hold bottom nicely. For good quality and ultra buoyant pop ups these and Handcraft are comparable based on my experience and I alternate between the 2 happily when I have the need to fish pop ups

Look at the website, he used to have a good write up about what size bait holds up what rig etc.

I use a size 4 ronnie with a 15mm one. It doesn't take a ridiculous amount of putty. I like the Nutty Maple Cream & Scopex Squid Liver. The pots with different sizes in them are good.

Thinking of trying some of these out , I currently fish a spinner rig with size 6 hooks. Have heard these have ridiculous buoyancy! Would an 11mm be appropriate to hook size, and any recommendations on flavours / colours ?
