Korda Popup Plastic Boilie – NEW Fake Food Range
When it comes to artificial hookbaits, very few companies have the reputation that Korda do.
Their Fake Food range has been catching carp for years, and now the brand-new Korda Popup Plastic Boilie range brings a fresh twist to one of the most effective hookbait concepts in modern carp fishing.
Designed to perfectly imitate real boilies while offering the durability and consistency of artificial hookbaits, these new Popup Plastic Boilies are built for anglers who want maximum confidence in their presentation every single cast.
Whether you're fishing Ronnie Rigs, German Rigs, D-Rigs, Chods or simply tipping off a bottom bait, these hookbaits are designed to give you an edge over pressured carp.
Unlike standard pop ups that soften, split or lose buoyancy over time, Korda’s plastic boilies stay consistent session after session while continuing to release attraction.
What Are Korda Popup Plastic Boilies?
The new Korda Popup Plastic Boilie range forms part of the famous Fake Food lineup.
These are buoyant imitation boilies designed to mimic real carp baits while giving anglers all the advantages of plastic hookbaits.
That means:
• Long-lasting buoyancy
• Perfect presentation
• Extreme durability
• Consistent attraction
• Reusable hookbaits
• Ideal for nuisance species waters
Korda worked closely alongside Mainline to ensure the flavours and colours perfectly match some of the most successful boilie ranges in carp fishing.
Available in proven matching profiles including:
• Cell
• Essential Cell
• ISO Fish
• Link
These hookbaits are designed to blend seamlessly into your baiting approach while still offering subtle advantages.
Why Use Plastic Hookbaits?
Plastic hookbaits have become incredibly popular over recent years and for good reason.
In many situations they simply make fishing easier.
Perfect Presentation Every Time
One of the biggest issues with standard boilies and pop ups is consistency.
After several hours underwater:
• Pop ups can absorb water
• Bottom baits can soften
• Crayfish can destroy baits
• Small fish can peck them apart
Plastic boilies eliminate all of those issues.
Your rig stays exactly how you intended for much longer.
That extra confidence can make a huge difference during difficult sessions.
Ideal For Waters With Nuisance Species
If you fish venues containing:
• Crayfish
• Catfish
• Small nuisance fish
• Birdlife
you'll know how frustrating normal hookbaits can become.
Plastic boilies are almost impossible for nuisance species to destroy, meaning your hookbait remains fishing effectively for extended periods.
This makes them incredibly popular on busy day tickets and difficult continental-style waters.
Match-The-Hatch Perfection
One of the cleverest things about this range is how well the colours and flavours match real boilies.
Rather than standing out unnaturally, the Popup Plastic Boilies are designed to look like a natural part of your baited area.
That gives anglers the option to:
• Fish critically balanced presentations
• Tip off bottom baits
• Create snowman rigs
• Match freebies perfectly
• Add subtle buoyancy
Sometimes subtlety catches more fish than bright colours and high-visibility hookbaits.
Available Flavour Profiles
Cell
Possibly the most famous sweet boilie ever created.
The Cell profile remains one of the most successful carp baits of all time thanks to its creamy sweet attraction and year-round effectiveness.
Perfect for:
• Pressured waters
• Day tickets
• Winter fishing
• Long campaigns
Essential Cell
A slightly fruitier twist on the original Cell profile.
Combining sweet creamy notes with additional fruity attraction, Essential Cell has built a huge following amongst carp anglers looking for something slightly different.
Excellent for:
• Summer fishing
• Clear water venues
• PVA bags
• Bright hookbait setups
ISO Fish
For anglers who prefer fishmeal-style attraction.
ISO Fish combines savoury fishmeal notes with subtle food signals that work brilliantly over pellets, boilies and heavy baiting situations.
Perfect for:
• Big fish waters
• Summer campaigns
• Fishing over boilies
• Natural venues
Link
One of the more underrated profiles in the Mainline range.
Link offers a savoury, spicy and meaty attraction package that works particularly well during cooler months and on pressured carp.
Excellent for:
• Autumn fishing
• Winter fishing
• Natural pits
• Anglers wanting something different
Popup or Slow Sinking?
One of the best things about Korda’s Fake Food range is flexibility.
The Popup Plastic Boilies can be used:
• As standalone popups
• Critically balanced
• Tipped over bottom baits
• As snowman presentations
• Combined with wafters
Depending on the rig and hook size, anglers can create incredibly natural presentations that behave differently to standard hookbaits.
Perfect For Modern Carp Rigs
These hookbaits work brilliantly with virtually every modern carp rig.
Ronnie Rig
One of the most popular options.
The buoyancy helps create aggressive hooking mechanics while maintaining perfect presentation.
German Rig
Plastic boilies are incredibly effective here because they allow free movement without the bait becoming damaged.
Spinner Rig
The durability of the plastic bait works perfectly with bait screws and spikes.
Snowman Setup
Combine with a matching bottom bait to create a balanced presentation with subtle buoyancy.
D-Rig
Excellent for creating natural movement while maintaining attraction.
Why Anglers Love Artificial Hookbaits
Over the last few years more anglers have started carrying at least one pot of artificial hookbaits in their tackle bag.
Why?
Because they simply solve problems.
Key Benefits
• Last for multiple sessions
• Stay buoyant longer
• Resistant to crayfish
• Perfect for long sessions
• Great for recasting quickly
• Maintain attraction
• Easy to balance rigs
Many anglers now use plastic hookbaits as a confidence bait when fishing difficult waters.

Particularly effective when:
• Fishing small bags
