That is completely up to you..

 

If i fish with tigers, then i balance it with a pice of cork trimmed like a tiger and fish this upmost (bit like a snowman) and the hook should lay flat on the bottom.

 

Therefore what you a trying to achieve is a bait that acts like a freebie and easily get sucked in when a carp is on the feed.

 

Trial and error in a small fish tank, large glass vase or even a pint glass is the way to go.

i would always have the hook flat on the bottom and not lifting at all.

This is how i would fish snowman and pop-up rigs

personal choice really, i tried both and became more confident with my tigernut hookbaits sinking very very slowly with just the weight of the hook to take them down
