Recently purchased a couple of pots of these as my nose would not let me leave the tackle shop otherwise. They remind me of the old Refresher Sweets. I also managed to accidentally drop a small amount of booster into my face mask and now every shop smells delightful

Obviously I understand that this has no bearing on if it will be successful. I just wanted to ask if anyone has had any success on them?

Buoyancy is *****, bought 12s and didn't hold up a size 6 Ronnie. Bought 16s and they keeled over after 16 hours.

Sticky pop ups have always been crap. The pop ups do make great Wafters

I've done well on the 12mm, and had no issues at all with buoyancy.
Even at the end of the sessions they float well.

I was hoping the 14mm Fluros would hold up a short Stiff Hinge Rig? I will look at drilling and plugging them with cork to increase buoyancy, although this shouldn't really have to be done

I wouldn't be confident leaving them out for any length of time Scott. Be ok for your standard pop up rigs but Ronnies and hinge rigs

Get on the original Mulberry from High Attract Hookbait......12s are more than buoyant enough. Has all the original Hutchinson flavour in the right quantities

That did make me laugh, just because you said it.
16 hours, longer than most will ever need but then again I suspect someones fishing a very special place

Maybe on your water you can recast often without cutting out your chances.
Other waters, Sometimes you have to leave your hookbaits out for several days, due to tactics like less disturbance in the swim, whilst everyone is thrashing the water to a foam at the other end

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
