Pop up rigs

[Mr Fish]

yes - I did some tank tests and those rigs with a single pop up bead on are pretty much worthless as they do not even lift an un=baited hook, hence why I use 10 mm foam and just the one bead - the cost of so many beads on each snood would mean I would have to pay like £4 or £ 5 a rig....

Especially if you got them from Abbo Tackle

I can do these to any depth you wish them to be off the bottom - just tell me if you order

Do they cost a Tenna?

That actually made me laugh

I've got a couple of packs of 30mm foam pop up balls from temu site. Dead cheap too. And was wondering how many I would need to lift a decent sized bait up from the bottom. Something like a big squid/ bluey,/ mack fillets or head.

Sell them to Abbo tackle mate, he’ll give you about 80p each, that’s what they’re worth apparently!

I've got a couple of rocky marks in mind I'd like to try them on.

I use pop up beads for small baits but for any larger baits I just use a wine cork. Put a slit in it to take the line and then some insulation tape to hold it in place. Very bouyant, works a treat and costs very little.

Only just seen this as I have had a week or so away from social media and it has been total bliss if you want to make your own like my pop up rigs - search for 'White Closed Cell Circular Polyethylene Foam Backer Rod (10MM)' - it's much much cheaper (and the same) as sold by the carp guys

but at about 10% of the price of the stuff with the fishing/carp tax on, well worth looking for

Hmm, that’s why I couldn’t find them, I just searched for ‘cheap floaty fings’

Better off floatfishing I would have thought unless distance is critical

Pretty damn expensive if the bottle of wine cost £20

Sadly I'm not allowed to drink anymore but when I did I made my own wine. Good old days. Still got a bag full of unused corks though.
