Its called a critically balanced pop-up NOT a bottom bait OK thought i would run it by you if ok

i bore out a little hole in bottom of pop-up, then put blob of tungston putty on hair, slide pop-up down, put on hair/boilie stop, then push putty inside cavity in boilie, neat and critically balanced easily.

Well i think all these knots have a place, i have used a modified blood knot for 30 years, if i lose fish its from hook-pulls(not often thankfully), generally i find the cheap lines might not like bloodknots but if your using strong/qaulity line(not braid or flourocarbon) the form of bloodknot i use is good enough to land my quarry, If you prepare properly, and have confidence in what catches you fish...why worry..tight lines chaps.
