Just starting to try my hand at surface fishing and wondering which pop up boilie best resembles a plain pedigree chum biscuit (obviously for chopping down as a hookbait)
And also if I add some sticky baits cap oil to a few biscuits I believe it turns them red so which boilie would best resemble them now?

Dont forget all the fish will see is a silhouette. So colour is not really that important.

That's why I use a bright coloured one, so that you can see it (hopefully) being taken by a big pair of greedy lips.

This is just my personal pov but I've Got to say I disagree with that. Carp do not simply look up against a lighter background (the sky). Imo most of the time they look sideways, so it depends what's highest in that field of view, that's if you believe they don't 'scent' mixers/bait once they're up for it.
