Floating Boilies - commonly referred to as Pop Ups or simply "floaters" - are the buoyant variant of protein-packed boilies. It's hard to imagine carp fishing these days without the use of floating baits. Floating boilies are often highly flavored and come in vibrant, sometimes aggressive colors. Because they float, these boilies distinctly stand out on the lake or riverbed. They can be used as standalone baits or combined with sinking boilies to create what are known as "snowmen" or "mushrooms." They can also be successfully paired with pellets or grains.
