I'd expect most 10mm (10 plus paste skin for 12 finished) cork ball pop ups to be good for 24hrs if competently made, there seems to be no shortage of choice these days.. When I used to fish them, Aquabait were brilliant either dulled down or visual. Worth a try..

Was a big fan of proper jobs before I discovered SHB
A few of my favourites were condensed milk, pineapple nbutyric, maple cream and fishy peach.

Peach and scopex are my favourite from there. I also often use the pineapple barrels as tippers to good effect

Just had a look at the PJ website, look good, will definitely grab a couple for the bag!

Good recommendation, can anyone further recommend which flavour profiles they have had good success on?

Thanks.

Watch the tank tests they've done. You won't get anything more buoyant off the shelf

Hi mate. Will an 11mm be buoyant enough to pull a chod section up a leader?

uyou won't go wrong with a proper job pop up, although most pop ups will stay popped up for 24hrs these days

Who makes the most buoyant 12mm pop ups? Must be able to hold up a chod with a size 6 hook for at least 24 hours
