Are there tried and tested pop up that everyone has in their kit all the time? (any size)

Also I can't find any 12mm that will hold a size 4 hook up very easily..

It has been said before but any of the proper job pop ups will do the job. An 11mm will hold a size 2 up for weeks

I saw some in my local tackle shop on Friday, so yes.

Edit, I'm talking rubbish, the ones I saw in the shop were Proper Carp Baits pop ups!

I've never seen them in the shops so wouldn't say it's something you can pop down the tackle shop for

Is that a euphenism?

Sticky pop ups are hit and miss for buoyancy, can't go wrong with oxford carp baits.

I've had them popped up on a rig in a tank for 7 days before I got bored of looking at it

No, so buoyant they can lift a Prius taxi.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
