Pop-Ups, floating hook baits that make the difference
Pop-ups have become an indispensable part of carp fishing, for both long and short sessions. The right pop-up can make all the difference. In this category, you'll find a carefully curated selection of pop-ups for every situation, from subtle and natural to bright and extremely attractive. Everything to make your rig as attractive as possible to carp.
At Carp-Shop, we don't settle for standard. Our pop-ups are developed with practical experience, strong aromas and flavors, and stable buoyancy. No pop-ups that are half-submerged after a few hours; our pop-ups continue to perform their intended function for at least 12 hours.
What are Pop-Ups and when do you use them?
Pop-ups are floating boilies presented above the bottom. They're ideal for waters with heavy weed, soft bottoms, or slicks. Because your hookbait lifts off the bottom, it stands out more and is more easily ingested by carp.
Why pop-ups are so effective
-
They immediately stand out among the food
-
Less trouble with lobster or whitefish
-
Perfect for dressage waters
-
Suitable for various rigs such as the chod rig, spinner rig or hinged stiff rig
Pop-ups are often combined with products from other categories, such as Boilies, Grubs or Liquids, to create a complete and attractive bait offering.
Different types of Pop-Ups in our range
Not every pop-up is the same. Depending on the water, season, and fishing pressure, you'll choose a different approach. Our range includes several variations, each with its own application.
High Attract Pop-Ups
These pop-ups are packed with flavor and attractants. Ideal for instant fishing or when you want to quickly induce a bite. They work perfectly with stick mixes or a PVA presentation.
Natural & Match Pop-Ups
These pop-ups perfectly complement the scent and color of matching boilies or wafters. Ideal for longer sessions or for wary carp wary of bright baits.
Fluorescent Pop-Ups
Bright colors like pink, yellow, or white ensure maximum visibility. This is especially effective in murky water or during the colder months when carp are less active.
How to get more out of your Pop-Ups
Pop-ups work great as a single hookbait, but become even more powerful when combined with other products:
-
Snowman rigs (pop-up + boilie)
-
Pop-up with crumbed boilies
-
Pop-up dipped in liquid or bait spray
By combining it with, for example, Liquid Boosters or Bait Sprays , you significantly increase the attraction around your hookbait.
Play with presentation
A 12mm pop-up can sometimes be more effective than a large 15mm. Especially on heavily fished waters, it pays to vary the size, color, and rig.
