no but with winter coming rigs could be out 13/14 hours overnight a consideration to be taken into account

Anyone struggling for buoyancy, instead of buying cork separately, just use the foam sticks from your zig rig/kits. I find it gives me more buoyancy than the cork i have
How similar in scent / flavour are these to sticky's 'signatures'

to me the signatures smell like those refresher ssweets but the mulbz are quite different. to me they smell a bit marzipany.

There is defo a hint of Marzipan about these, I agree. Possibly some Almond flavouring? In the booster I also detect a creamy after taste too, Possibly Scopex?
I personally think a pop up should last at least 12 hours on any rig straight from the tub ESPECIALLY when paying £7.25 a tub! I'll plug mine with cork and then use the booster to help flavour the cork

Impulse baits, Mk2s are your best bet. This is the pop up the companies have tried to copy, it's been on sale since 2011 but the recipe was in use by me from 2003.
The pop ups will stay up for 48hrs-72hrs at least depending on size.

I've found this with alot of sticky pop ups. From my experience have found the bouyancy poor and nconsistant. I'm now using DNA pop ups and they are superb.

As has been said, the buoyancy leaves a hell of a lot to be desired, and that's an understatement.

Not very buoyant as others have said. Find I have cork them to last the night popped up on a ronnie rig.

I really cant understand why sticky have got it so wrong with their pop ups in terms of buoyancy. For me personally, I dont want to be messing around drilling bits of cork into pop ups. For such a high quality bait and at the price i want to be able to get one straight out the pop knowing it will hold my rig up. Id much rather have to trim a bit off the pop up to get it just right if required.

IMHO Blame the ‘field testers' if they had done their roles right, they would have moaned about to the makers saying the buoyancy was crap, were more like wafters after a few hours!
Re-tweak it, get it spot on, then put it out to market punters
Long before all the negative fieldback on forums

If you believe the hype on the other thread nobody at sticky is using the house hookbaits anyway!

Oh yes, I'm well aware of that.
I know what goes on in the real world, is very different to the virtual world and keeping sponsors supplied with photos.
