The Korda Fake Food Pop Up Dumbbells are an essential tool for carp anglers looking for a durable, high-attraction hook bait that stands out in competitive fishing environments. Designed for those who prioritize longevity and scent retention, these baits feature integrated attractors molded directly into the plastic, ensuring a persistent scent trail that doesn't wash away like surface-soaked baits. While they offer exceptional durability and presentation, they are strictly artificial, meaning they lack the nutritional value of traditional food-based hook baits.

While the scent is already molded into the plastic, you can soak them in liquids to provide a temporary, high-strength scent boost upon deployment.
Yes, they are suitable for year-round use; the synthetic material does not harden or degrade in cold water like some paste or boilie baits.
Because the attractor is part of the plastic composition, the scent will persist significantly longer than standard plastic baits, often remaining effective for the duration of a standard fishing session.
Yes, they are extremely durable and can be cleaned and reused multiple times unless damaged by hook point penetration.
The washed-out appearance mimics bait that has been sitting on the lake bed for a while, which often appears less threatening to older, suspicious carp.
Add a small piece of tungsten putty or a heavy sinker to the hook link to counterbalance the buoyancy until the bait sits naturally.
Ensure you are using the specific hair stops provided in the pack, as they are custom-molded to fit the internal diameter of the dumbbell bait.
To achieve the best results, thread the bait onto your hair using a standard baiting needle. Use the included matching hair stops to secure the bait; these are specifically designed to fit into the indentation of the dumbbell for a flush look. Since these are pop-up baits, always check your rig's buoyancy in the water before casting, as you may need to add a small amount of putty or a split shot to counterbalance the bait if you prefer a 'wafter' presentation. After a session, simply rinse the bait with fresh water to remove any lake silt or debris, and store it in its original container to maintain the integrity of the integrated attractors.
