Drill/core out centre of pop up and add tungsten putty or split shot.
I still do that with bottom baits to turn them into either wafters or pop ups with foam or cork sticks

I don't know if this will help. The multi rig I tie is literally a hook, ring, line then weight to pin down the popup so no scaffolding.

So that it doesn't look like I have a malteser holding the rig down, I've been threading a tungsten dropper which I then wrap with lead wire and still have to wrap some putty around that.

Quite a faff, but at least now I have sleek mini twix on my rigs which is a little more discreet 😂.

Reality is the fish probably don't care...

You can use lead wire piercing the pop up. But this will defeat the purpose of using buoyant pop ups.

Bigger swivel on your D, sounds like a size 8 might be needed.

Just use a AAA shot. That holds down a Proper Job pop up.

Hey,

Anyone got any neat methods of weighing down a buoyant pop up like corkers, proper jobs, Hayward specials etc on the multi rig. Looks like I’ve attached a boulder

Thanks
