Here’s quite a neat idea – instead of you having to buy separate tubs of barrel-shaped and round pop-ups, try these mixed tubs from Dynamite. There are four varieties, some of which I prefer the smell of to others, but each is extremely buoyant, albeit I wouldn’t term any as ‘fluoro’ bright. That’s not necessarily a bad thing because the brightest of bright baits are not necessarily always the most successful. With a mixture of sizes there is something here for most presentations, although the downside (compared with tubs of individually matched baits) is that if you favour one particular size they soon run out.

Expertly prepared mixed particles that leave an attractive cloud in the water column. An ideal component of a sloppy spod mix, ideal when using zig rigs and fishing up in the water. The sweet milky liquid will soak into pellets improving their attraction. The ideal spod mix additive or simply used on its own.

Carl Sharp has landed four carp to 35lb 14oz during a mad, four-hour spell on the morning he was packing up from his weekend session on Monk's Pit in Cambridgeshire. A 22lb 4oz mirror and two stockies made up the rest of the haul. The Wolverhampton-based Solar team member presented 14mm Club Mix pop-ups over a bed of 2kg of Seafood Take-Away boilies and 3kg of Solar's Salty Sweet Particles at 80 yards to a hole in the thick kelp-like weed. Rigs comprised size 6 Stronghold 101 hooks and 10 inches of Solar Easy-Strip coated hook link set up multi-rig style.
