Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Anglers wanting a bright single hookbait. The yellow finish gives you a noticeable target with the savoury Pro-Stim Liver flavour blend.
- Snowman-rig users. The two sizes let you experiment with lift above a bottom bait, checking the finished balance before casting.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers after a low-key hookbait. Sweetcorn yellow is intended to stand out rather than blend into a dark lakebed.
- Anyone who heavily soaks every hookbait. Repeated liquid coating can compromise the buoyancy you're buying these for.

Quick verdict
A useful bright hookbait, not a magic bite button
There's a sensible mix here: a clearly visible yellow finish, the Pro-Stim Liver flavour blend and a buoyant hookbait designed for single-bait and snowman presentations. Plenty to like if those jobs feature in your fishing.
The catch? Buoyancy still needs checking with your actual hook and rig hardware, especially after boosting. Buy them for a specific presentation, not because yellow supposedly guarantees a screaming take.

The purpose-made pop-up mix and durable-skin design offer a convincing hookbait package, though durability hasn't been independently checked here.
Advertised buoyancy of 24 hours or more is promising, but completed-rig performance depends on loading and liquid treatment.
Visual contrast and buoyancy give useful presentation options without proving any increase in catches.
Two straightforward sizes suit familiar presentations, with a water check needed to get the balance right.
The 45-bait 14mm pot offers useful scope for repeated hookbait changes, although actual value depends on the selling price.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the CC Moore Pro-Stim Liver Yellow Pop Ups
Some hookbaits earn their place by keeping things simple. The CC Moore Pro-Stim Liver Yellow Pop Ups have a clear job: give you a bright, buoyant hookbait with the Pro-Stim Liver flavour blend. They're round, come in 12mm and 14mm, and wear that familiar sweetcorn-yellow colour. Nothing wildly complicated to get your head around, mate. The useful question is whether you need that combination for your fishing, rather than whether another pot will look cracking beside the dozen already rattling around in your bait bag.
The first thing to separate is appearance from flavour. Yellow might make you think of sweetcorn, but these contain the smoked garlic sausage Pro-Stim Liver flavour blend. That's the attraction theme here; the colour is the visual side of the package. It gives you a way to fish a noticeable hookbait without choosing a fruity option simply because you want something bright. Whether that contrast helps on your water is another matter. A yellow bait can draw attention, but attention doesn't automatically turn into a take.
As a single hookbait, the appeal is pretty straightforward. You've got one bright target on the end of the rig, without needing these pop-ups scattered around it. That can suit a short session, a move onto showing fish or a cautious approach when you don't fancy introducing much bait. Location still comes first, though. A carefully balanced yellow pop-up in empty water is still in empty water. Get the bait where the carp are willing to feed, then worry about the finer details of colour and presentation.
The other obvious job is balancing a snowman rig. Here, the pop-up sits above a bottom bait and supplies lift, rather than necessarily holding the whole hookbait clear of the deck. Having 12mm and 14mm options is useful for adjusting that combination, but diameter alone won't tell you how it settles. Your bottom bait, hook and attachment all contribute weight. Drop the finished setup into water and watch it, rather than giving it a hopeful glance and launching it towards the far margin. A little check saves plenty of faff.
Buoyancy is a big part of the pitch. These are described as highly buoyant, with a durable skin providing consistent buoyancy for 24 hours or more. That's encouraging if you want to leave a presentation fishing through a bite-time rather than keep winding it in. We haven't tested that claim on the bank, and it shouldn't be read as a promise that either size will lift any hook you fancy. The complete rig is what matters, especially once you've added swivels, bait screws or counterweight.
They're made with CCM Pop Up Mix, which is intended to promote flavour and attractor leakage. You can also coat them with Pro-Stim Liver Hookbait Booster, as the texture is suitable for it. Handy if you like keeping the same attraction theme, but don't go mad with repeated coatings. Added liquid may reduce buoyancy. If you've spent time getting a rig to settle just so, changing the hookbait with several rounds of booster means that balance needs checking again. More liquid isn't automatically a better fishing bait.
Size choice should follow the presentation, not a blanket rule about big fish needing big hookbaits. The 12mm option gives you a smaller profile; the 14mm is the larger choice, with 45 baits confirmed in that pot. Neither size comes with a guaranteed catch advantage. Think about the hook arrangement, the amount of lift you need and how obvious you want the hookbait to look on the spot. If you're comparing value, use the actual pot price and confirmed contents rather than assuming both sizes contain the same number.
Overall, these look like a sensible addition for anglers who actually use bright pop-ups or snowman presentations. They're less compelling if you mostly want subdued bottom baits, or if every hookbait gets soaked repeatedly without another balance check. There's also an important use restriction: they're for use as a fishing lure only and must not be fed to fish. Keep them in the hookbait role they're intended for. No miracle claims needed here — just a clear set of features, with the usual responsibility to get your rig and location bob on.

Our take
Stand out without changing the flavour theme
The appeal is the contrast between that classic sweetcorn-yellow appearance and the smoked garlic sausage Pro-Stim Liver flavour blend. You get a bright visual target without switching to a fruity hookbait.
That gives you a straightforward option when you want something noticeable on the spot, whether fished alone or used above a bottom bait in a snowman.
The hookbait
What you're actually buying
These are purpose-made floating hookbaits, not ordinary boilies in a brighter colour. The round shape, sweetcorn-yellow finish and Pro-Stim Liver flavour blend are the core package. The CCM Pop Up Mix is designed to allow flavour and attractors to leak out.
Choose the size around the finished presentation. For a pop-up rig, check that the bait supports the intended hook arrangement before adding the counterweight needed for your chosen setup. For a snowman, watch how the combined baits settle. You can't judge either properly from the pot.
Worth knowing. These are for use as a fishing lure only and must not be fed to fish. They're hookbaits, not freebies for a catapult, spod or loose-feed mix.
Finding a job for them
Best when you want a deliberate visual target
If you regularly fish bright singles, this is an easy product to understand. You get a noticeable yellow bait with a savoury flavour theme. It also makes sense for anglers who like a contrasting topper on a snowman, provided the lift suits the bottom bait beneath it.
It's not automatically the pick for clear water, wary carp or a tiny margin trap where you want everything looking unobtrusive. Equally, don't write yellow off just because a venue is pressured. Let the fish's response guide you rather than treating bright or washed-out colours as universal rules.
The sensible buy is a pot with a job already waiting for it. If your usual presentation doesn't need a floating bait, this probably isn't the missing piece. If it does, the size options and advertised buoyancy make it a reasonable candidate.
Before you cast
Sizes, staying power and boosting
Which sizes and quantities are confirmed? You can choose 12mm or 14mm, and the 14mm pot contains 45 baits. We haven't got a confirmed count for the 12mm pot, so check that separately if you're comparing cost per hookbait.
Does 24-hour buoyancy mean you can forget about the rig? No. That's the advertised bait-buoyancy claim, not a guarantee of how every setup will behave. Test the exact bait, hook and attachments together, and remember that a quick initial check doesn't prove how they'll sit after a long soak.
Can you boost them? Yes, they're suitable for coating with Pro-Stim Liver Hookbait Booster. Keep the treatment measured and recheck the balance afterwards. Repeated liquid coatings may reduce buoyancy, which rather defeats the point if your presentation relies on that lift.
On paper

01What sizes are available, and how many are in a pot?
What sizes are available, and how many are in a pot?
They're available in 12mm and 14mm. The confirmed count is 45 baits for the 14mm pot; don't assume the 12mm pot has the same count.
02Will they keep a rig popped up for 24 hours?
Will they keep a rig popped up for 24 hours?
The advertised claim is consistent bait buoyancy for 24 hours or more. That isn't a guarantee for every completed rig: hook weight, attachments, counterweight and added liquids all matter. Check your exact setup in water.
03Can I add Pro-Stim Liver Hookbait Booster?
Can I add Pro-Stim Liver Hookbait Booster?
Yes, the texture is suitable for coating with it. Go steady, though: repeated coatings may reduce buoyancy, so check the bait again after treatment.
