Carp style pop ups

How bait behaves in running water concerns anglers more than fish. Fish will see it as an edible item and pop ups most likely with curiousity; if it smells/tases like food, it probably is. This one was was caught on a 14mm flouro popped up around two inches in a fast flowing section of the warks avon a couple of years ago. The rig putty which was balancing the pop up came off in the fight.

Thanks for clearing that up dave -in water that is not too weedy a balanced bait is effective not sure about how more effective just off the bottom is to on the bottom but If you have had success with it then there is no better recommendation.
