  New Ultra Buoyant Fluoro Yellow Pop Up Mix

  £9.16 – £1,033.32Price range: £9.16 through £1,033.32

  ***THIS PRODUCT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY***

  This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page

  *Please note that you will need to add more of the new pop up mix to your liquid egg than with our original mix, not adding enough pop up mix with create really soft pop ups. You need to add as much pop up mix as you can, stopping just before the dough goes too dry.

  This pop-up mix will make extremely buoyant hook baits which will remain buoyant for days (we tested a 12mm for 5 days). We have been asked over and over again for a pop-up mix that is buoyant enough for a 12mm hook bait to hold a size 4 hook up with a ring swivel, look no further this pop-up does just that. The 12mm hook baits we have experimented with have stayed popped up for 5 days, we then stopped testing. Made with Milk and Egg Proteins thus increasing leakage, it also takes on attractors and flavours extremely well, you will find it easy to use and roll. It has a firm texture but remains soft enough to use with a bait needle without excessive force.

  One egg will take approximately 80-100 grams of pop-up mix. You will get approximately 5 pots of pop ups per 250 grams of pop-up mix once made.

  Simply add 40g Fluoro dye per kg plain pop-up mix to create fluorescent hook baits. For washed out add 20g white dye and 20g fluoro dye per kg pop up mix. These are recommendations and can be altered until you achieve your desired colour. Add both pop-up mix and your chosen dyes into a large plastic bag, then close bag trapping some air inside and shake well until mixed evenly.

  With this mix being so buoyant it allows you to add extra base mix when creating wafters.

  For shelf life hook baits add 10-15ml of bait preserve per egg. It is important to remember the main part of the process is to dry your hook baits well prior to storing, usually a minimum of 48hrs, it can be slightly longer in the colder months due to extra moisture being in the air, the longer your hook baits are dried the less the moisture content will be helping to prevent mould growth.

  This pop up mix requires boiling for roughly 90 seconds for a 12mm and 120secs for 15mm hook baits.

  AA Baits Original Plain Pop Up Mix

  Rated 5.00 out of 5

  AABaits Pop-Up Mix 

  Our AABaits Pop-Up Mix has been refined to improve handling and make rolling easier, while adding slightly more structure to the core. It now matches the buoyancy of our Ultra Buoyant Pop-Up Mix.

  This mix can be used with either water or liquid egg, alongside bait preservative. When using water and bait preservative, the finished baits will still be sufficiently firm. For those who prefer a harder finish, using liquid egg with bait preservative will increase firmness slightly compared to water.

  For best results, always weigh your liquids (egg or water) and powders accurately. Pop-up mixes require precise measurements, so we recommend using scales accurate to at least 1g to ensure consistency.

  This mix produces extremely buoyant hook baits that will remain popped up for days. In our tank tests, 12mm pop-ups tied to a size 4 hook with a micro ring swivel remained buoyant for over 7 days (testing was stopped at that point).

  Made with milk and egg proteins, along with high-quality milk powders, this mix offers excellent leakage and takes on flavours and attractors extremely well. It is easy to use and roll, with a firm yet workable texture that allows use with a bait needle without excessive force.

  Iron Oxide Coloured Mix

  • 10ml flavour
  • 150g pop-up mix
  • 5g iron oxide dye

  ---

  Note: Colour inclusion rates are a starting point and can be adjusted to suit your desired colour intensity.

  Overall Ratio:
  The standard ratio is 1.46g powder to 1g liquid. This can be adjusted slightly when incorporating additional liquids and powdered additives such as flavours, oils, liquid foods, or powdered attractors.

  As a starting point for more customised mixes, you may reduce the ratio to around 1.35g powder to 1g liquid, then fine-tune as required to achieve your preferred consistency and workability.

  This yields approximately 250g of finished pop-up baits.

  ---

  Instructions

  1. Weigh out 80g water (or liquid egg) and 20g bait preservative (100g total).
  2. Add 10ml flavour and mix thoroughly.
  3. Add your chosen powder mix (standard, coloured, fluoro, pastel, or iron oxide) and combine evenly until a fluffy texture is achieved.
  4. Apply approximately 0.5ml of your chosen oil to vinyl gloves, coating them lightly.
  5. Knead for 2–3 minutes until a smooth dough forms.
  6. Place the dough in a sealed bag and leave to rest for 15 minutes to allow full absorption.
  7. Lightly re-knead, then roll into a sausage suitable for your extruder.
  8. Load into the sausage gun and extrude a small amount to check sizing.
  9. Start with a smaller nozzle opening and gradually trim it, checking against your rolling table after each adjustment. Always test with a full-length sausage before finalising, as length can affect expansion. Take your time—over-trimming will require a new nozzle.
  10. Once correct, extrude sausages to the required length.
  11. Roll using a rolling table and transfer to a tray. Dusting with rice flour is usually unnecessary with this mix, but if sticking occurs, lightly coat the tray (base and sides), then remove any excess before use. Gently shake the tray once baits are added.
  12. Bring water to the boil, then reduce slightly (around 98°C is ideal). Although this mix does hold shape at a full boil, slightly lower temperatures are recommended.

  Boiling times:

  • 12mm: 60 seconds
  • 15mm: 90 seconds
  • 18mm: 120 seconds

  13. Remove and place on an air-drying tray. Dry for a minimum of 48 hours.
  14. A full “how-to” video will be available soon for additional guidance.

  Drying & Storage

  Proper drying is essential. Air dry for at least 48 hours before storing—longer in colder or more humid conditions. The lower the moisture content, the better the resistance to mould.

  ---

  Colouring Guide

  • Add 40g fluoro dye per kg of pop-up mix for bright hook baits.
  • For a washed-out finish: 20g white dye + 20g fluoro dye per kg.

  Add both the pop-up mix and dyes into a sealed bag with some trapped air, then shake thoroughly to ensure even distribution. Adjust levels as required to achieve your desired colour.

  ---

  Wafters

  Due to the high buoyancy of this mix, additional base mix can be added when producing wafters.

It has a firm texture but remains soft enough to use with a bait needle without excessive force. This wafter mix has been made on the buoyant side allowing you to add base mix when creating matching hook baits. When being used without any other powders added to the mix a dumbell wafter (12mm size nozzle on a 15mm rolling table) will sit nicely using a size 4 hook with a ring swivel. There is always going to be a little trial and error when creating these sort of hook baits, you can alter the buoyancy of the mix by adding more powders to the wafter mix until you achieve your desired waft. Make sure you write everything down in percentages, you can then alter your percentages until you achieve your required buoyancy, also remember the buoyancy will increase slightly as the hook bait dries out, vice versa once the hook baits takes no water it will decrease the buoyancy. Good luck and happy rolling.
