While MnM Fluros and other pop-ups offer many advantages—including the ability to trim and fine-tune your hookbait with scissors—they are not always the best option when it comes to maintaining buoyancy over extended periods. For demanding presentations such as the Chod Rig or Hinged Stiff Rig, where long-term lift and reliability are critical, anglers often prefer cork ball pop-ups.
 
With this in mind, we have created the perfect solution: Corkers, Cork Ball Kit.
Designed for anglers who value precision and durability, these packs allow you to roll your own cork ball pop-ups. Better still, they’re compact enough to take with you on the bank, so you can make fresh pop-ups right at the water’s edge.
 
What’s Inside Each Pack
40 x 12mm cork balls
Generous supply of MnM paste (enough for at least 60 pop-ups)
A dedicated pop-up pot for storage
 
Depending on how much paste you apply, you can create everything from ultra-buoyant pop-ups to critically balanced hookbaits. And because the cork balls can be reused, you’ll be able to keep producing fresh hookbaits session after session.
 
Directions for Perfect Results
For a 15mm pop-up, wrap each cork ball with approx. 2mm of paste (around 1.8g if using gram scales).
Mould the paste evenly around the cork ball.
If the paste feels dry, add a few drops of Liquid Attraction (sold separately).
Boil for 2 minutes.
Leave to dry for 24 hours or longer.
Once dry, place in the pot with a few drops of Liquid Attraction (sold separately) and shake well.
 
The result: tough, reliable, and highly attractive cork ball pop-ups that hold their buoyancy for extended periods, even under the pressure of nuisance species or long sessions.
