CC Moore Northern Specials
A zinger of a hookbait with a devastating reputation for singling out big fish...
Few hookbaits conjure up images in the same way these ones do. As hinted at by their name, the Northern Specials were developed on the large meres of the North West in the 1990s. In an age of savoury fishmeals, these super bright, super fruity baits made quite an impact and established an instant reputation that spread like wildfire. Slung out to the horizon on silty meres, they became THE single hookbait of choice at the time, though demand often outstripped supply.
Fast forward to 10 years ago and CC Moore teamed up with Gaz Fareham in 2009 to resurrect the legend, making sure a stable source of ingredients could be found, and the NS1s were born.
Crack open a pot and you will soon be sucked into that aura of greatness. There’s a fizzy, fruity quality to these baits that marks them out as perfect for use as singles in the colder months.
Available in Pink, Yellow, White and now Orange, the NS1 pop-ups come supplied with a booster liquid that further increases the baits’ pulling power. There’s also a matching liquid available in 500ml bottles that can be poured over your loose offerings or into your spod mix.
Perfect on their own as single hookbaits, Northern Specials are also very popular as ‘toppers’ on snowman-type set-ups. This winter will see plenty of big carp falling to these all-time greats.
