CC Moore Northern Specials Po Ups Pink

Gaz Fareham’s NORTHERN SPECIALS NS1 - PINK

Over a number of years Gaz and a few of his closest angling colleagues have developed a small range of incredibly attractive hi-viz pop ups. Combining a selected blend of potent flavours and attractors with a high level of a vivid bait dye they have created these ‘Northern Specials’ (‘I.B.s’) that, due to their unprecedented level of success, have gained an almost mythical status.

We will let Gaz tell you the story of their development......

The Northern Special; everything including the name is a nudge to the history and background of its evolution. I grew up fishing the meres in the North West back in the mid-late nineties, at the time there were a few lads doing especially well on one particular attractor combination when used as a small single pop-up and, eventually, I too became privy to a couple of the ingredients that made up the especially effective blend. Often a couple of us would get together and roll big batches for the season ahead as a little team, excitedly discussing which ones would be the ‘one’ to catch us the target we each wanted. It was all good fun and collaboratively we worked out sets of attractors that were far and above anything available off the shelf.

To this day back in the North West all the lads still make their own specials; their own customised sets of trusted attractors that are lovingly rolled into single hookbaits. A tweak here, a tweak there, a few extra mil of this, a bit more of that, hop up the colour, tone it down a bit…it is all experimental. Those same North West lads have done exceptionally well wherever they have taken them, with the baits almost always out-fishing anything else by a long shot and they’ve accounted for an amazing amount of fish from all over the country; on everywhere from pressured day ticket venues to the hardest of the hard on the big fish circuit.

The original attractors actually ended up being discontinued so we were forced to work out new and equally as effective combinations. The baits evolved into many different versions utilising slightly tweaked sets of attractors, but one thing always remained consistent, when the chips are down, you could always rely on one to get you a bite.

The resulting hookbaits that have been developed over the last 12 months are based on the original key liquids that we have eventually managed to re-source, and that same ethos and blend of incredibly effective attractors that we have all done so well on over the years, and thus, the ‘Northern Special’ has been born; just as effective in the south…although the northern lads always did say they were easier down there!

Gaz Fareham

Since Gaz joined us we have worked together with him to produce these superb 12mm and 16mm ‘Northern Specials’ in bright pink and white- the two colours he found most effective in his recent fishing campaigns.

In developing these hookbaits we combined the key flavours and attractors to make a product that will release a strong food signal over a long period of time. In testing, the flavour and attractor combination used in these pop ups proved instantly effective at stimulating fish to feed in even the most adverse conditions; a characteristic that has made them an essential addition to the bait armoury of some of the most successful anglers in the country.

Don’t miss your chance to gain that all-important edge!

Tip: To really increase the potency of your Northern Specials, give them a coating of the supplied booster liquid, let it dry in and then repeat this as many times as necessary. This gives them a huge boost of attraction, making them simply irresistible.

Available in 12mm & 14mm.
