Is it just me or does everyone else find the pop ups from Sticky and Mainline struggle to stay up for longer than 12 hours?
If so which ones do everyone use?
Or do I have to add something e.g fake corn/foam/ cork to these pop ups to make them stay up?
Cheers

Years ago I found the mainline ones not to good for staying popped up for long periods but thought they would have sorted it by now but obviously not. If you want to carry on using them you could always drill them out a bit and stick some cork in them, not ideal but at least they'll stay popped up for longer

To save buying cork for this purpose, if you have any zig foam in your tackle box that will work just as efficiently

Oxford Carp baits, had a pop up in a tank holding the rig up for a week. No doubt it could have gone longer if I had left it

I couldn't leave a bait out for over 12 hrs ... no matter how confident i feel I am the doubts would start ... as i'm now on the Oxford baits mc nut and pop up I might just start :-)
Are you sure?
