Hi guys

Im looking for a good airball pop up which will hold up a rig (multi/ronnie) for 24hrs. The ones i have either dont hold the rig up long enough or on the other hand are so bouyant it needs a ton of putty to weigh them down. Looking for something inbetween. Just wondering what you guys use or would suggest. Thanks

Use your existing pop-ups & drill them out a little bit with a 4/6mm bait drill then plug with a bit of foam or cork. You can then get the exact buoyancy you require.

Proper job pop ups are the most buoyant I've used.

Not used them myself yet but advanced Hookbaits look and sound pretty good and judging by their catch reports do the business on some tricky waters.

Baitroom are the best airballs out there in my opinion but they have got really expensive now, getting towards £20 a pot posted ! I recently got some from ub baits that cost half the price and very impressed with them, also got some custom Wafters made from ub that are exactly what I wanted, really good quality, just got to see if they catch as many for me as baitroom do 👍

Getting ridiculous with baitroom, the price only ever goes one way. Ub are spot on

If you got a deal on 3 tubs I wouldn't mind but your looking at £50 for 3 tubs of pop ups with postage ! It's too much for me is that, I got 3 tubs for £24 from ub with postage included. That being said the baitroom really are the best I've be used, I hope the ub ones perform as good as they look 😁

I know had a look at baitroom. £15 for a pot of pop ups is just pure rip off. Im suprised they are still in business with those prices. £9 maximum id ever pay for a pot

I've had a fair few tubs a few years back and I think I paid around £6-7 each
Are you sure?
