Wow this escalated quickly, as for a question the guy asked about buoyancy, yeah the buoyancy are decent. Not overly buoyant that you need big lumps of putty too pin it down.

Just to add my opinion, I hand roll my pop ups and try to get them as round as is possible to help, even if only slightly with aerodynamics.....you don’t see a golfer using an egg shaped ball!

Christ. Lot of moaning about mis shaped baits. I wouldn’t want to deliver your chicken balls on a Saturday night

Getting mis shaped baits instead of round is no different to getting sent a different flavour/colour. They will still catch you fish but the long and the short of it is it’s not what you asked for

I didn’t justify it on just being hand rolled? I said I knew what I was getting wouldn’t be “perfectly round” as that is pretty clear from the description and pictures.
People like UB Baits and various others managed to make a round pop up round so don’t know how Advanced baits haven’t managed it and worse still, send them out to paying customers? If they were advertised as mis shaped pop ups then there would be no arguments and I wouldn’t of bought them as that’s not what I was after
I like them round as I use them for snowman rigs when I use them so like my pop ups as round as possible and was the reason I thought I’d try them out. Hookbaits are very personal and apart from location to me are the next important thing. So if I buy something for a purpose and they are not what I expect/wanted then I’m not gonna use them
Single pop ups I use Specialized Hookbaits sometimes and am quite happy for them to be slightly mis shaped as I knew what I was expecting before I bought them so am happy to use them

No dig at you just my opinion on the thread hence a reply to no one in particular, if you want to take it personally that's your prerogative, I couldn't careless and certainly not interested in your baits!

As that's clearly a dig at me ill reply. Nowhere have I said people have no right to be unhappy about receiving mishapes. My point with boo whom I originally replied was I find it weird to write off a bait solely on it being a bit out of shape. Which I now find even weirder as he's replied he uses specialised hookbaits cc popups too which can be very mishaped and varying sizes, and justifies it by them being hand rolled. So in theory each one is in someone's hands so should be very uniform really. FYI I've got some lovely perfect little popups, I've got some specialised hookbaits cc which are hap hazard. I know which catches me far more fish......

I wouldn't be happy if buying what I was expecting to be round pop-up's and they turned up misshapen, end of, any argument to this is wrong.

No need for the aggressive tone now is there, we're all grown adults after all. You stick to doing your thing, I'll stick to doing mine, and I'm sure both our photo albums will continue to grow nicely.

Which you’ve made over and over and over again, to the point people are bored hearing it. Get off your high horse. Carp eat there own excrement, as it was said on a podcast last week, it goes without saying they’ll eat anything any shape, doesn’t take a genius to figure it out. But if something has no consistency shape and size wise how will it ever be consistently efficient when attached to a hook? It won’t. It’s pretty simple, some people like myself, won’t settle for it, which is an opinion with regards to the original post.
Wow Fantastic, I’ve rolled hookbaits for the last 15 years too. No one cares though otherwise I’m sure they’d of asked.
