If the pink is anything like the sting yellow they wash out lovely to a very pale yellow almost white

I liked the look of those but still looked a bit bright, difficult to tell off a web page.
A couple of years back I bought some washed out Pink pop ups, for the life of me I can't remember who's, possibly Nash. Out of the pot lovely, but when reeled in a few hour's later they had changed colour to a super bright Pink, they went in the bin.

Thanks for getting back to me mate.
Hopefully you get a few requests for the 12mm wafters lol if not you will have to let me know when the little dumbell wafters are ready and I will trim them down to size

Yes we can as we ran 12mm peanut trials and they worked well. It’s the little barrel dumbells most lads want so we are working on them! Our problem is that many people want odd shapes or sizes so we need to keep the range in some sort of order. We already have lots of things on the drawing board 😉. But if enough people ask for the little 12mm Wafters then we can knock up a batch. Only a few have asked for the 20mms but I know that will rise in the summer

Alright gav I ordered some krill and calanus pop ups and wafters a few weeks back and they look and smell the nuts and hopefully I should be giving them a go next week. Out of curiosity can you do the krill and calanus in a 12mm wafter cos one of the waters I fish definitely respond more to a smaller bait. If you can I will defo put in an order for a few pots

Chris, glad you are doing well on them. That specific one is the most subtle out of them all but it’s an age old classic and very acidic. Tastes lovely with some nice fruity powders in the base. A pop up doesn’t need to blow your head off as we know they can find them no trouble at all but the most popular baits in the range are the ones which are potent and strong.
Eton mess with the bergamot is a favourite of many customers.

Recently invested in some of these pop ups, someone I know is pulling a lake apart on them in various flavours. Can’t wait to try them myself 👌

If you are looking for a washed out pop up i have done really well the last few weeks on the 12mm Eton Mess, they stay popped up for days on a size 4 multi rig and are a nice washed out very pale pink colour they are also not so strongly in your face flavoured like most commercial 'bright ones'

Ive had 6x 20's upto 27lb in my last 2 sessions on them whilst others around me are struggling. Im absolutely sold on Gav's pop ups.
