Fishing Bait Guide | How to pop-up your peperami

Peperami has to rate as one of the best alternative winter hookbaits. It’s durable, cheap and highly attractive and you should always have a stick or two of ‘rami’ in your bag during a winter session.

To make it more attractive, turn it into a pop-up so it stands off the bottom and in the carp’s eye line.

2) Remove centre of the Peperami with a bait corer or meat punch
