P.s. I like white but will switch to duller hookbaits if I dont think I'm getting the bites I should be.

That was a bit spooky just listening to ep42 of the carp cast and Rob Hughes did a little talk about DNA pop ups his thoughts were BRIGHT BAITS WORK BEST IN CLEAR WATER,in coloured water they need a strong smell to help the fish locate them,but once they can see them they still work Pink will stand out against anything as no bottom is pink White is good in shallow clear water with lots of light or deeper water,in average depths he thinks going for a colour may be preferable Yellow you may think will stand out but silt underwater is a sort of yellowy colour and will blend into the algae and filamentous weed but a good fluoro yellow like the pb would be a nice and subtle and stand out enough but not be too blatant

Thanks guys I've just ordered some from DNA post free specials I went for there half tones to match the flavour of my bait but white and washed out pink Some yellow PBS Pink perils White milky malts And some orange fruitylicous That should give me enough variety to try and find the right pop up for any situation, I already have matching corkdusk popups and wafters too and actually quite a few others too Will let you know what I find out, I think I have been putting my fear of yellow in clear water down to what the birds will see and destroy in the shallower part of the lake , but I have found a couple of nice spots in the deeper end today which will help and I think yellow will be first on the bait screw, when I get them, I remember catching a few on the old nutrabaits pineapple and banana baits in the olden days I am hoping these pb's smell as good 😁

If my lake is weedy , then yellow pop ups all the way for me

Pink will be more visible/blatant than yellow buddy. Yellow kinda reflects the tones of any weed and chod giving it a green appearance on the deck.

Elmo, the fox underwater YouTube video I posted in zigs shows how red yellow and black perform underwater. OK they are in the same lake, but interesting how the yellow performs. I've never done so well with yellow, although my only fish from the car park came on a yellow topped snowman. In about 8 ft of relatively clear water. The previous syndicate, gin clear I couldn't catch using coloured pop ups, yet matched to the freebies, I did very well.
