Got loads of pots here they are stupidly buoyant and are the top pick for me if I am using rigs that require mega buoyant pop ups. However they are very dense and don't seem to take an attractor very well. I have fished them on the same spot against another pop up of the same colour that had a better attractor package in my opinion and I was getting 5 bites off a crushed cork pop up to 1 off PJP. If your after ultra buoyant go PJP if you don't need that there are better options on the market just my opinion mate.

Orange tuttis in 13mm. Absolutely brilliant.

Don't need to add anything else to them, they come fully pimped and ready to go.

I use the N-Butric, personally I think Proper jobs are the most buoyant in the market.

I like the Squid & Octopus, BP Plus and the Scopex Combo. Never caught on the Devils Dung.

I personally wouldn't bother with the mega buoyant ones - they are just too buoyant.

Another vote for Scopex Combo I have done well on the beige colour ones. Like said they are very buoyant maybe too much so for some rigs as the size of putty or shot to hold them down does get a bit excessive. The buoyancy also doesn't seem to change at all which is likely why people find that they don't take on liquids so well. I don't personally add anything to mine and if in the right place at the right time they always seem to do the business.

I've tried loads and caught on them all. I'd happily use any of them.

The Strawberry Scopex has caught me and my mates several particularly rare carp. Probs coincidence but the fact remains.

I have nothing but good things to say about Proper Job Pop ups!
I have used a few to trial, however I have settled on one now, which is fishy peach in white/pink. Outstanding in my opinion and really don't ever see the need to boost them, even as singles.

Honestly, give them a go, as others have said you won't be disappointed!

Agree on the Fishy Peach. Great as singles and great over bait. The Devils Dung are wicked. Pineapple. All of them. I use the un-flavoured ones for suspending alternative baits and for zigs, they're useful. I'm a cork ball man but whenever I need to use a standard pop up I'll go with Proper Jobs.
