Unless your " matching the hatch" how important is the base mix? Surely as long as the attractors do the job then it's a hooked fish. Is it important to have a top class high protein base mix in a pop up?

Northern specials, always use the + version and never had any problems with them

Baitroom or ub baits for me, huge amount of confidence in both 👍

For buoyancy it's got to be proper job pop ups, I like there nutty maple cream

IMHO mate they are on par with baitroom but half the price 👍🏻

Can I throw Mark Dean Koda Pops into the mix. Rolls a good Cork ball does Mark. You can find him on Facebook and Insta.

I've used the bait room for a few years, but I think the prices are a complete joke now. £15.99 for a pot of pop ups. There is not they are quality products but I can't see how he can justify that much. I think having just seen that I will be making a change.

Has anyone tried advanced hookbaits?

They make great wafters👍🏻

Probably the worst pop ups I've had the pleasure of buying, more like a wafter

Which ones would you recommend?

Which do you think is best? Just looking at ub now. Any recommendations?

Roll your own cork balls.

You won't be disappointed with any of them but the ting tongs are excellent
