Hello

I am trying to cut down on my hookbaits and only want to take a couple of pots.

Would you take wafters and drill them out with Cork so I can use them as both or take pop ups and counterbalance them with a weight to use as a wafter when needed??

You'd only need 3 tubs to cover all situations , one tub of pop ups , wafters and hard hookbaits. Put the wafters and pop ups in one tub so then there's only 2.

Get some of those small bags ( the ones you can put weed in) and put a few hook baits in each one then put them in 2 tubs. If it's a runs water then you need to take more hookbaits anyway so get a bigger hookbait bag.

I hear what your saying and I have thought that I should just take a pot of a mixture at a time.

But the amount of hookbaits I have is ridiculous, really want to sell the lot and start again.

I want to have 4 pots of hookbaits.
Match the hatch, Yellow, White and Pink but also have the options of wafters and pop ups.

But thinking about it i could just have a pot of wafters in each and if I want to use a pop up I could just drill out and plug it with Cork or vice versa with a pop up and counterbalance with a weight.

If they are all one type say
Manilla or cell

Why not mix all the colours and sizes dumbbells etc of pop ups in a tub and then Do then do the same with the wafters.

That's what I do
But I limit those down again to say 4 or 5 of each in one tub.
Have a spare tub in the car/van if you cane on 1 colour and feel you need to change all the time.

I don't help myself to be honest.

I use 2 types of boilies, one Fishmeal and another Nut based.

Then the Pink, Yellow and White are all different flavours again

I swear I must have about 50 pots of hookbaits some 10 years old it's a joke 😐

Use some old 35 mm camera film cases lol
Or you can use things like sterident tubes small pill tubs

hydro tablet tubes are a good one
I store some tea bag's and coffee in them 😉

Just take one mixed pot and leave the rest in the car

Pops and counter balance them with fly tying wire pushed inside.

I went through a stage of tubs and tubs of pop-ups; Strawberry Ice Cream, Pineapple N-butyric, Monster Crab, Green Zing, Purple Plum, Scopex, Tutti-Frutti, Garlic Spice and more.

I now only carry a few tubs, Monster Crab, KMG, Infusion and Garlic Spice. I can 'overweight' a pop-up to create a critically balanced or use it as a snowman topper as well as a pop-up.

For me pop ups and drill out a touch and use putty, a small split shot or leadcore inner wire

For me wafters 99% of the time I just think they look a lot more natural and unless fishing in thick silt or heavy weed then I don't use pop ups, I use to take loads of different pots but now I only take 3 different ones

GPB1
GBP2
S2 but mix all colours in one pot to save space

And sometimes I take a mixed pot of northern specials

If I could afford it I would make a Carpy version of the below. Been using them for years, label the outside not the lid - I'm sure we will get a manufacture one soon for £15
