The new range of ESP pop-ups have been specially formulated to deliver maximum buoyancy and attraction over a prolonged period of immersion. Available in 5 different colours and flavour combinations, in sizes 13mm and 16mm.
The 13mm are perfect for Ronnie Rigs using long shank hooks such as the ESP Trig-Hammer. This smaller bait combines very well with a large hook where the bait sits towards the top of the shank on the bend, and using a smaller bait tends to result in better hook holds. The 13's are buoyant enough even for the size 4 Trig-hammer XT's with a D-Sleeve and will maintain optimum presentation for a prolonged period. The 13's are also tailor made for tipping bottom baits for snowman rigs and wafters, or for zigs.
The 16's are great for chods and hinge rigs, where the hookbait is located lower down the shank near the eye on a D. The hook tends to sit proud, just below the bait and a larger hookbait is well proven with this presentation and provides extra visual and aromatic attraction.
The pop-ups have a firm texture and can be pierced, screwed or tied on with Super Floss depending on the angler's preference.
We have used 5 different proven colour and attractor combinations utilizing some of the best carp catching attractors at optimum levels.
Sugar Rush in washed out pink is one of the most successful colours along with a blend of lactose milk B, a classic attractor in its own right, ester pear and banana, regular sense appeal and vanillin. Washed out pink is a winner all year round, whether fished as a single or over bait.
Salty Squid in white comprises salt, squid and octopus flavour and a high-grade black pepper essential oil. A very recognizable old school big fish attractor package. A white bait acts as a highly attractive visual lure against a dark lakebed and the 'squids' are perfect when combined with a fishmeal food bait.
Pineapple Punch in pastel yellow includes some of the most successful carp attractors ever. A high-grade pineapple flavour, with its perfect complement - n-butyric acid which is a dairy derivative with a strong parmesan cheese aroma. Alongside these two big hitters we have also included lactose milk B and original scopex to provide a smooth, buttery back note. Another excellent all-rounder that can nick bites when all else fails.
Fruit Frenzy in washed out orange is the classic tutti fruity pop-up. Fructose, which is the fruity version of lactose and the all-conquering ester blend 12 provide a simple, but highly effective attractor package which is difficult to beat, especially in cold water conditions.
Krillicious in dark fish meal red, provides the perfect fish meal pop up in the range. Monster crab, blood plasma and krill alongside a few others bits combine to provide a pungent bait that is perfect when allied to krill type food baits.
