Yes those ones, they sound good, i went for washed out pink, and white tangee peach 13mm I think it's time to have a clear out 😂

The hook used for the 360 was originally the fox hook, way before Dave went to jrc

Not much room for the milk then 😳

They're the best none cork ball pop ups for buoyancy by a mile imo mate. In days gone I've had them in the test tank so long the hooks are rusting away and still popped up. They have food value too, a proper attractor package, not just flavoured pop up mix like most firms do. Decent.

Joblot on the Bay?...

Got 5l of moolasses😂 I ve moved them all around a bit couldn't bring myself to throw any yet, I remembered how nice it is to just go and have a sniff sometimes 😂

Woooooow, thought I was bad.... I'm out on Friday, with the last of my Krill, Snowamn pop up on 1, Krill Active Wafter on other.... 1 boat hopper full of pimped bait around each rod 😉

The beauty of having a good clear out is you can put all the pots through the dishwasher and have a massive stash of pots ready to start filling with various pop ups and glugs again......🤣

I've got 2 shelves full in the garage now, some go way back should just chuck them away I suppose - I used to always have half a dozen pots in the living room (glugging) which mates seemed to like sniffing every week, how they moaned when I moved them out 🤣👍

Yes, he's still a mod as far as I know. Hardly ever see him on here now.

Those Scopex Strawberry baits have caught me some very, very rare carp @Highy. No idea what it is about them but always good for the rare ones. The Scopex/Cream are good too. Expensive meal for a mouse!!!

I've just fou d an old picture from here.... Some Propper Job pop ups given to me back then.... Think the shelf fell down in shed and most were eaten by rodents.

I've been looking at Proper Jobs lately, seen a vid online (Carpy Chris).... They were bolt upright still after a week, still pastel colours, but I think flavour lost.

The KLS? I've had them for a while, he was kind enough to chuck a tub in with an order before they were widely available last year. They look the nuts but I've just not had the chance to use them yet. Absolutely no doubt they'll be great.

I think a pop up amnesty is coming on 😂 I am having a clear out this week and we are hoping to do a car boot sale this weekend, maybe I will have a bucket full a £1 a pot or something 😂 I have just bought a couple of pots of proper jobs they have a couple of new flavours that sound immense that I couldn't resist 😂(one might be of interest to you yonny as it looks similar to trent baits freshwater shrimp )

My pop ups tend to be treated with a few bits so I can always keep adding to them to freshen them up and keep them pumping. Assuming you're not using anything that can go off, two years is nothing imo. It does pay to have a clear out every now and again though. It's too easy to end up with pots of unused pop ups everywhere.

I have some that are nearly 10 years old I would still happily put one out

Location is key! Find the fish first. As @emmcee says if you can't find them try to get them to come to you. Baitwise for that keep it simple and cheap, crumb, groundbait, particles maybe Vitalin and a few boilies. Don't keep chopping and changing rigs, the chances are they are not at fault, it is simply the location. I get your point on regular recasting, but it could be that that is keeping them away. Leave one rod in place, all day, but maybe recast and rove with the other. Your bait will work, your boilies sound good, but in my view, just take one boilie out of the bag, any one, and put it on the hook. Don't change it on your recast, leave it, stick with what you are doing. That means stick with the pop-up or the wafter, even bottom bait. Years ago I fished a 2mile section of river between 2 weirs. The carp would move along the section, quite visible, but had places where they preferred to feed. It took 3 months of baiting with just pellets, boilies and sweetcorn to find these spots and to get them used to my boilies. Strangely, sweetcorn was a 'blown' bait, the carp would leave it alone for at least 2 days, although tench and eels would pick it up in certain spots. Quite possibly simply because most people fishing the area used sweetcorn and the carp realised it would result in a hook in the lip, even if they managed to escape. (Not everyone was fishing with gear suitable for carp). The result was a few carp to 28lb.
