Cork/ styrene balls

Would i be right in thinking,due to the way a carp mouths a bait,sucking it in,spitting it out that it wouldn't swallow a fake bait and that using the afore mentioned is ok to use

Not tried them myself but if you want to give it a go get some clay balls from the garden centre they are super buoyant and have a texture that would help the bait grip tight, plus the carp could crush the clay if needed. never tried them but they will work in fact they could be fished bare loaded with attractants as they take on liquid.

To be fair most pop ups on the market are designed not to be ingestied (its in the small print usually), technically they have probably detected the fact that your bait is attached to something eg. your rig before working out the bait has a cork ball in it.

Fake baits are banned on some waters; cork balls, foam, plastic baits etc. 

In a pop-up however, is a grey area.
