Not used the Hell pop ups but have used the pineaphells since they were released. Had some good fish in really cold poor conditions and enough times fished against a different hookbait to mean they now are the first one that goes out.

Absolutely disgusting smell, I could never get on with it but it catches carp.

Thats all the convincing I need, thanks.

Ive already added matching Oil, Dip/Glug & Booster to my Royal Marine order, Ive also got a few litres of Calanus liquid to use, but am now debating whether or not to add the Crustacean liquid, Crustacean Powder and/or C-Stim liquid, has anybody used any or all these products?

I've used the powders, dont really add much, probably best used in a stick mix.
The coating of boilies thing is pointless in my view more benefit in liquids both in the way boilies, pellets etc absorb them and how they dissipate in water.
You can buy the powders cheaper elsewhere too.

Go to British Aqua Feeds, twice as much at half the price, and you can mix and match your own.

Used the ones listed from Baitworks, only as I had them for free.

All the BAF stuff is good, look at the descriptions all well written which helps pick a pre mixed liquid or powder or make your own, very easy and cheaper to do.

Well, I've had a 15mm Royal Marine cork ball pop up tied up to a rig sitting under water for 24 hrs and it's exactly the same as it went in, super buoyant. Not the same as sitting in 20ft of water and the associated pressure, best I could do under the circumstances.

Maybe there were problems in the past or maybe super glugged DIY baits were sinking. All I know is these ones will do the trick nicely 👌

If I don't end up doing a Billingsgate on my place this year 🎣 with these baits, I'm ganna be well miffed

A cork ball or cork dust pop up mate?

I think it's the cork dust ones that people are slagging, personally I've not had an issue with the Atlantic heat ones, granted they are a different shade to the bait but a little spruce up with the booster liquid and a few drops of the hot oil and they are pumping out signals and have always been up the following day 👍

The little cork ball kits look spot on though.

It's the cork dust baits I've had problems with, the scent from heaven/hells were always fine.

Didn't know they did cork balls?

My silly fault, it's the form dust ones, not cork balls

Lemme check, a day and a half in and still poped up
