Bad news is I was down to the last 3 left in the tub of my all-time favourite pop-ups, the original Nash Whisky Airball in 15mm, from circa 2006.....

Good news is I have just managed to acquire a full sealed tub that will keep me going for a good while....just broken the seal and the smell is unbelievably as good as it was some 15 years ago....

So......if you could get your hands on a pop-up no longer available, what would it be?

I have to say I agree with you, the Nash whisky, both boilies and pop ups are my all time favourite shop sold baits, the whisky really was a great attractor and I still use it in my own baits although not got much left.

Putting that aside the other stand out bait no longer available was also from Nash. The white chocolate pop ups caught me a lot of fish, I particularly liked the the 10mm ones as the top bait on snowman presentation.

I never did very well on the whiskey , although I was on an utter headbanger of a water at the time I used it. Maple 8 would be my choice

Original Grange. What a bait that was. Screamer baits smoked ham and onion oil was also very kind to me back in the day.

have a look at High Attract Specials - they have a pop-up that contains the Whiskey. Old Faithful it is called.

Just remembered there's a company called forgotten flavours who does all-sorts of pop ups from back in the day. Have a look, I'm sure he will do a whiskey

Trouble is there's whisky and Nash's whisky, I don't know what it was they had but it was something special attraction wise.

Have tried a few alternative whisky flavours and none match the catch rate of the Nash one.
