Product Information
Full details
Designed for dedicated carp anglers seeking a proven edge, these 10x14mm hi-viz red dumbell wafters provide an exceptional visual and aromatic trigger in the water column. The primary benefit is their unique, highly attractive citrus-fruit blend that has earned a legendary reputation for triggering bites even in difficult conditions. Note that because these are high-leakage baits designed for maximum attraction, they should be stored in their original sealed container to maintain the potency of the included booster liquid.

FAQs
Can these be used in PVA bags?
Yes, the 10x14mm dumbell shape is ideal for PVA bag fishing as it settles naturally within the contents.
What is the best hook size to use?
These generally pair best with size 8 to 10 hooks to achieve the perfect 'wafting' motion.
Does the red color fade in the water?
The hi-viz pigments are designed to remain bright for an extended period, though some fading is natural after several hours of submersion.
How often should I use the booster liquid?
You can add a few drops whenever the baits feel like they have lost their pungent citrus smell, or keep them 'boosted' constantly by adding the liquid to the pot.
Are these suitable for all seasons?
Yes, the Northern Specials range is famous for its year-round effectiveness, regardless of water temperature.
Troubleshooting
The bait is sinking too quickly
Your hook is likely too heavy for the wafter. Try a lighter gauge hook or a smaller size.
The bait is floating too high
The hook is too light. Try a larger hook or add a small piece of rig putty to the hook link to anchor it.
The scent seems to be fading
Use the provided Hookbait Booster sachet to re-coat the baits and allow them to soak for 24 hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the performance of your NS1 Wafters, ensure you use them with a hook size that allows the bait to achieve a neutral buoyancy. If the hook is too heavy, the bait will sink; if too light, it may pop up too aggressively. We recommend testing your rig in a small container of water before casting out. To maintain quality, always reseal the pot tightly after use and ensure the booster sachet is kept away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
