Product Information
Full details
Designed for dedicated carp anglers seeking a high-visibility, potent attractor hookbait, the CC Moore NS1 Northern Specials are ideal for triggering bites on heavily pressured waters. These pop-ups combine a proprietary blend of effective liquids with vivid dye to create an almost mythical status in the angling community; however, their extreme buoyancy and intensity mean they are best used as a refined hookbait option rather than for heavy pre-baiting.

FAQs
Are these pop-ups suitable for Chod Rigs?
Yes, their extreme buoyancy and 12mm size make them ideal for Chod or Hinged Stiff Rigs.
Can I use these in the winter?
Absolutely. The potent attractor profile is designed to be effective year-round, including during cold water conditions.
Do I need to add more flavor?
The baits come pre-soaked with potent attractors, but they can be boosted further with matching NS1 bait sprays if desired.
Will the color fade in the water?
They are designed with a high-level dye to remain vivid for an extended period, though some minor fading is natural after long submersion.
Are these suitable for match fishing?
While targeted at carp anglers, they are excellent for any specimen fishing where a high-visibility, potent bait is required.
Troubleshooting
Pop-up losing buoyancy over time
Ensure the bait is not punctured unnecessarily when mounting and check that the rig weight is correctly balanced for the size of the pop-up.
Bait washing out too quickly
Avoid soaking the hookbaits in excessive liquid for prolonged periods; only apply fresh booster liquid shortly before casting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the pop-up is securely attached using a bait screw or a long hair rig to maintain the correct rig mechanics. These hookbaits are highly compatible with various rig types, including the Ronnie rig or a standard stiff hinge. To maintain freshness and potency, always store the pot in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, and ensure the lid is sealed tightly after every use to prevent the volatile attractors from drying out.
