Built for the hook, not the spod
Hook baits do a different job to feed, so they're made differently - tougher, balanced to sit how you need them, and carrying more attractant than the bait around them.
My account
AccountOur Mulberry Pop-Ups bring the fruity Mulberry flavour from our wafters into a classic round, buoyant hookbait.
Available in 12mm and 15mm, they give you another way to fish with your favourite flavour, whether you’re presenting a single hookbait or fishing over a baited area. Pair them with Mulberry Flat Spot to carry the same flavour through your approach.
If you love our Mulberry Wafters, these give you the same flavour in a round pop-up. An ideal option when you want to change your presentation while keeping your flavour consistent.
Unlike a bottom bait, a pop-up is designed to float. When balanced correctly with your rig, it holds the hookbait above the lakebed, helping keep it clear of light debris and making it easier for passing carp to pick out.
Your rig and the amount of counterweight you use determine how high the hookbait sits.
Choose 12mm for a smaller, more subtle hookbait or 15mm when you want a larger offering. The classic round shape suits a range of pop-up presentations, including Ronnie/spinner, hinge and chod rigs, provided the bait’s buoyancy is suitable for your chosen setup.
Match your hookbait with Mulberry Flat Spot for a coordinated Mulberry approach, combining the flavour of your pop-up with a matching liquid attractor.
Top tip: Always test your completed rig in the margins before casting. Hook size, rig components and added liquid can all affect how your pop-up sits, so adjust your counterweight to achieve the presentation you want.

From balance and buoyancy through to flavour matching - see what goes into every wafter, pop-up and hard hooker
Hook baits do a different job to feed, so they're made differently - tougher, balanced to sit how you need them, and carrying more attractant than the bait around them.
Match The Hatch pop-ups and wafters carry the OG Fish and OG Fruit & Nut profiles, so the hook bait reads as part of the free offerings rather than the odd one out.
Pop-up, wafter, bottom bait or hard hooker - pick the buoyancy to suit the lake bed and the rig, from sat proud over silt to pinned flat on gravel.
Supercharged Hard Hookers hold up through nuisance fish and long waits, so you're not reeling in at first light to find a bare hook.
Every bait carries a heavy attract load that keeps working long after it's gone in — and takes a soak well if you want to push it further.
The choice is really about how the bait sits and how much it stands out. Pop-ups for silt, weed and chod rigs — up and visible. Wafters for a balanced bait that gets sucked in like a free offering. Bottom baits over a clean spot. Hard hookers for nuisance fish and long night waits.
Our best-selling combination — OG Fish on the deck, Magic Bean wafters on the hook and Monster Crab Flat Spot to pull them in. Build all three into a bundle and save against buying them separately.
