Forgotten Flavours - Ester Explosion © pop-ups

Fierce, intense, volatile, EXPLOSIVE!

Ester Explosion is the result of relentless experimentation—combining multiple esters with carefully selected organic acids to create a truly extreme underwater reaction that demands the attention of any carp in the vicinity. By blending two of our most proven ester profiles, Esterblend and Acid Pear, we’ve pushed well beyond what’s currently available on the market.

Created and released exclusively for the 30th anniversary of Carp Den Bosch in 2026, these multi-coloured pop-ups—mixed together in a single pot—are impossible to ignore. Sooner or later, they will find a place in your bait bucket.

A true must-have for 2026. Expect fireworks—and expect plenty of PBs to fall.

Will do very well year-round but spring and winter will be best to use these. They might be a bit punchy in summer... :-)

Check buoyancy of your rig and critically balance where needed.
