I think its ground down polystyrene foam they use.

Perhaps glass spheres in a controlled environment are used with a dedicated base mix to achieve the high buoyancy levels?

I got a batch of the matt orange banana PJPUs and they caught me fish everywhere I went but never seen them in stock again.

Spurned me on to make my own pop ups, nowhere near as good quality finish or buoyancy as PJPUs I never failed to catch!

I have noticed that the PJPU don't seem to take up a glug as much as other pop up's. My tuttis have been soaking for over a year. Perhaps if they aren't that porous it contributes to their amazing buoyancy?

Does that also mean they don't leak attractors ?

Which attractors specifically.?? Rock hard PJPU go soft during their time in the water. I have however always over glugged them but not before drying them out properly..

Imo they do take on and leak additives well, but they need to be left soaking for far longer than other pop ups.

I bought some PJPU pop ups a couple of years ago & they came with glug on them.

It threw me slightly because all the other ones I had bought from him were 'dry' so I contacted him. He said he had glugged them to give them a boost for winter. The glug soaked in within a few days. I asked him but he doesn't sell the glug.

That's unusual. I have never had or heard of glugged baits from him. Can I ask what size/colour/flavour they were mate?

I don't think Kevin does custom pop ups anymore but my customs (two types) had a small bottle of glug, they must take on flavour and or glugs as Kevin sells unflavoured versions for people to customise.

They were Roast Chicken flavour size 11mm. I bought 4 pots in white, yellow, brown & pink. The glug didn't change the colour of any of the baits. Have caught well on them.
Are you sure?
