FAQs

Is the Arctic Crab suitable for winter fishing?

Yes, the blend of low-temperature and soluble fish proteins makes it highly effective in colder water temperatures.

Can I use the booster liquid on other baits?

While it is designed for the Arctic Crab range, the booster can be used to add extra attraction to other fish-meal-based baits.

How long should I soak the pop-ups in the booster?

A 24-hour soak is generally recommended for maximum saturation, but even a quick dip before casting can enhance attraction.

Are these pop-ups suitable for Chod rigs?

Yes, their buoyancy and 15mm size make them excellent candidates for various pop-up presentations, including the Chod rig.

How do I store the baits after opening?

Keep them in the original container, ensure the lid is sealed tightly, and store them in a cool, dry place.

Does the bait contain any synthetic dyes?

The Arctic Crab range relies on the natural profile of its high-quality ingredients, including krill and fish proteins.

Troubleshooting

Bait loses buoyancy after long immersion

Ensure the pop-up is not being over-penetrated by the bait needle and consider using a smaller bait screw or stop to maintain core integrity.

Booster liquid spilled on clothing or gear

Immediately flush the area with warm, soapy water; repeat the process if the scent lingers, as the oils are designed to be highly adhesive.

Pop-up is too buoyant for the rig

Use a small piece of lead putty on the hook link or trim the pop-up slightly to achieve a slow-sinking or neutral-buoyancy presentation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Proven flagship formula that consistently attracts carp
  • High-quality krill and soluble protein content
  • Ready-to-use kit includes booster liquid for added scent dispersal
  • Effective in both cold and warm water conditions

Cons

  • The strong, lingering scent can be difficult to remove from hands or bags
  • Requires careful storage to prevent the booster liquid from leaking
  • Not intended for long-term storage after opening if not properly sealed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of your Arctic Crab baits, store them in a cool, dark, and dry environment away from direct sunlight. Always ensure the booster bottle cap is tightened firmly after each use to prevent spills, as the aroma is highly concentrated.

Regarding compatibility, these baits work exceptionally well with standard hair rigs, spinner rigs, and chod rigs. The 15mm buoyancy is designed to be versatile, but always test your specific hook size in a test bucket of water to ensure the bait balances correctly. If the pop-up is too buoyant for a smaller hook, carefully trim the bait with a bait needle or scissors until the desired presentation is achieved.
