Basically this means that the bouyancy of the pop up boilie counter acts with the normal boilie making it not so heavy. So now you have a bait which is going to fly into the carps mouth as soon as it sucks near the bait. I use orange coloured tutti frutti pop ups when i fish there. they seem to work pretty well  |
Now I get the picture been using the same rig but didn't know it had a name

Also the bottom of the lake is mainly sand and a light coloured clay with the odd weed bed and gravel bar here and there. So go for a light coloured braided hook link, or even better use the new Korda IQ hooklink

I personally do not use braid seen too many fish damaged by in experienced anglers using it
I may one day when I've caught a few hundred more carp but until then
This is my PB from Gran Canaria 41lb 5oz and on mono filament too
