it's a 12mm sticky pineapple and n'butyric pop-up

a size 10 korda hook

0.4g shot weight

20lb braid

I am not new to carp fishing but I want to try out pop ups, I want to keep it simple and was wondering if this will catch carp.

  1. nice and neat. that will work fine and will catch you plenty of fish. over a bit of corn you’ll be laughing.

    i prefer slightly bigger hooks generally but depends on average size of the fish you’re catching and i like a slightly shorter hair when fishing a popup but that’s only personal preference.

    Yes. Personally I’d have the pop up slightly closer to the hook, and would also use a different type of hook to that, something in a wide gape or Chod style. But it will work.

    Don’t forget to add a bit of putty or something further down the braid to stop it floating like it is
