Pop-Up Foam

Gardner Pop-Up Foam is an open-cell, super buoyant foam with a wide range of applications across carp, coarse and sea fishing. Its open-cell structure makes it more compressible and slightly more buoyant than close-cell zig rig foam, making it the preferred choice for constructing and balancing pop-up hookbaits — small sections can be trimmed from the rod and mounted on a hair or hair loop to add precise buoyancy to any hookbait.

• Open-cell construction — highly buoyant, trimmable to any shape or size.
• Ideal for making pop-up hookbaits, balancing hooks and wafters, and trimming for zig rigs.
• Popular for balancing dead baits in pike and catfish rigs — Red foam adds both buoyancy and a visual trigger.
• Used by European surf anglers in the ‘Hunter Rig’ for added buoyancy and natural bait movement.
• White foam available in 4mm, 6mm and 10mm diameters; coloured foam (Red, Yellow, Black) in 6mm.
• The 4mm foam is supplied as pre-cut 50mm sticks in packs of 100; all other sizes supplied as 50cm rods.
• Bulk 15m rolls available in White, Red, Yellow and Black 6mm foam.
