Recently purchased a couple of pots of these as my nose would not let me leave the tackle shop otherwise. They remind me of the old Refresher Sweets. I also managed to accidentally drop a small amount of booster into my face mask and now every shop smells delightful

Obviously I understand that this has no bearing on if it will be successful. I just wanted to ask if anyone has had any success on them?

Buoyancy is *****, bought 12s and didn't hold up a size 6 Ronnie. Bought 16s and they keeled over after 16 hours.

A friend of mine has been doing pretty well on the 12mms in solid bags on my syndicate, that well I've ordered the full set myself

Sticky pop ups have always been crap. The pop ups do make great Wafters

I've done well on the 12mm, and had no issues at all with buoyancy.
Even at the end of the sessions they float well.

I was hoping the 14mm Fluros would hold up a short Stiff Hinge Rig? I will look at drilling and plugging them with cork to increase buoyancy, although this shouldn't really have to be done

I wouldn't be confident leaving them out for any length of time Scott. Be ok for your standard pop up rigs but Ronnies and hinge rigs

Get on the original Mulberry from High Attract Hookbait......12s are more than buoyant enough. Has all the original Hutchinson flavour in the right quantities

Are they airball or corkball at 14.99

Drill them out stick some booster soaked cork in.

Your leaving your rigs in place for 16 hours?? What you trying to do bore the fish out??

In reply to Post #12
That did make me laugh, just because you said it.
16 hours, longer than most will ever need but then again I suspect someones fishing a very special place

In reply to Post #13
16 hours isn't long at all is it?

That's rods out at 5pm and back in at 9am...

Maybe on your water you can recast often without cutting out your chances.
Other waters, Sometimes you have to leave your hookbaits out for several days, due to tactics like less disturbance in the swim, whilst everyone is thrashing the water to a foam at the other end

In reply to Post #12
no but with winter coming rigs could be out 13/14 hours overnight a consideration to be taken into account

Anyone struggling for buoyancy, instead of buying cork separately, just use the foam sticks from your zig rig/kits. I find it gives me more buoyancy than the cork i have

How similar in scent / flavour are these to sticky's 'signatures'

In reply to Post #17
Totally different from memory

In reply to Post #17
to me the signatures smell like those refresher ssweets but the mulbz are quite different. to me they smell a bit marzipany.

In reply to Post #19
There is defo a hint of Marzipan about these, I agree. Possibly some Almond flavouring? In the booster I also detect a creamy after taste too, Possibly Scopex?

I personally think a pop up should last at least 12 hours on any rig straight from the tub ESPECIALLY when paying £7.25 a tub! I'll plug mine with cork and then use the booster to help flavour the cork

Cork the way forward in them

Impulse baits, Mk2s are your best bet. This is the pop up the companies have tried to copy, it's been on sale since 2011 but the recipe was in use by me from 2003.
The pop ups will stay up for 48hrs-72hrs at least depending on size.

I've found this with alot of sticky pop ups. From my experience have found the bouyancy poor and nconsistant. I'm now using DNA pop ups and they are superb.

In reply to Post #1
As has been said, the buoyancy leaves a hell of a lot to be desired, and that's an understatement.

In reply to Post #1
Not very buoyant as others have said. Find I have cork them to last the night popped up on a ronnie rig.

In reply to Post #17
I really cant understand why sticky have got it so wrong with their pop ups in terms of buoyancy. For me personally, I dont want to be messing around drilling bits of cork into pop ups. For such a high quality bait and at the price i want to be able to get one straight out the pop knowing it will hold my rig up. Id much rather have to trim a bit off the pop up to get it just right if required.

In reply to Post #26
IMHO Blame the ‘field testers' if they had done their roles right, they would have moaned about to the makers saying the buoyancy was crap, were more like wafters after a few hours!
Re-tweak it, get it spot on, then put it out to market punters

Long before all the negative fieldback on forums

In reply to Post #27
If you believe the hype on the other thread nobody at sticky is using the house hookbaits anyway!

In reply to Post #28
Oh yes, I'm well aware of that.
I know what goes on in the real world, is very different to the virtual world and keeping sponsors supplied with photos.

In reply to Post #29
Seen a tank test on you tube 9-10 days the pop ups lasted ? Is this not enough ? lol

In reply to Post #10
Airball but you do get around 70 I a pot of 12mm which is quite a few more than alot of other hookbait companies.
