Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers mixing bags and spod work. One pellet blend can cover compact offerings and a broader baited spot without separate size purchases.
- Anglers feeding confidently active fish. The oily, fishy profile suits a considered feeding approach when fish are getting through bait.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers wanting a lean winter feed. A lower-oil pellet is a more straightforward starting point when bites and feeding activity are limited.
- Anglers needing precise pellet sizing. A mixed bag won’t give the same control over size or feeding consistency as a single-size product.

Quick verdict
A handy feed mix, not a shortcut to a screaming take
Halibut Ultramix makes sense if you want a dark, fishy pellet blend for bags, spod mixes and loose feed without buying several separate sizes. The mixed breakdown is the main draw: different-sized pellets won’t all disappear together.
The medium-high oil content makes sensible portioning important, especially in cold water. We haven’t tested it on the bank, and there’s no catch-rate promise here—just a practical feed option if it fits your venue and approach.

The listed protein ingredients and attractors make a credible feed package
Sinking pellets with varying breakdown times offer useful feeding flexibility without a confirmed breakdown window.
It can support a well-placed feeding approach, but there’s no evidence here of a catch-rate advantage.
A ready-mixed bag covers several feeding methods with little preparation.
Buying one mixed bag offers practical convenience, although a firm price comparison isn’t possible without a verified selling price.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the CC Moore Halibut Ultramix Pellets
CC Moore Halibut Ultramix Pellets are aimed at a familiar bit of bank-side faff: wanting a mixture of pellet sizes without buying several bags and playing bait chef in the garage. You get a dark, sinking halibut-type blend in a 1kg pack, intended for PVA bags, spod mixes and loose feeding. Nothing wildly complicated there, mate, and that’s part of the appeal. This is feed for building an offering around your rig, not a magic hookbait that somehow makes a poor spot produce a lump.
The useful detail is the mix of sizes. The maker lists 4, 6 and 8mm pellets, while Angling Direct additionally lists 11mm. That difference needs flagging rather than quietly picking whichever sounds better. If you specifically want the larger pellets, check the actual bag before buying. More generally, a mixed-size feed gives you something different from a uniform carpet of little pellets. The sizes have varying breakdown times, so the whole helping shouldn’t soften and disappear at precisely the same pace once it’s on the bottom.
These pellets are dark grey to black, with a strong natural fish aroma and a salty, oily fish taste in the maker’s description. The listed nutritional profile includes medium-high oil and a high content of digestible protein. Fish, meat and vegetable proteins supply amino acids, alongside natural yeasts, ionic salts and betaine. That’s a firmly fishy feed option rather than a sweet, brightly coloured bait. Those details describe what you’re buying, though; they don’t prove that carp will choose your spot over the next angler’s carefully placed offering.
For PVA work, the appeal is keeping a measured helping close to the hookbait. A small bag of pellets can give you a tidy mouthful rather than turning every cast into a heavy feeding exercise. With a mixed blend, pay attention to how the larger pieces sit around the rig and lead, especially in a solid bag. You want a compact parcel and a hooklink that can settle cleanly, not an awkward bundle full of gaps. Keep things dry unless you know any added liquid is properly PVA-friendly.
In a spod mix, Halibut Ultramix can provide the pellet element alongside whatever else your venue and approach allow. You don’t need to chuck half the bait cupboard in just because you’ve brought it. Start with a quantity that matches the fish activity, the likely stock and the time you’ve got available. If you’re only fishing a short bite-time after work, a restrained helping makes more sense than feeding as though you’re settling in for three nights. You can always put more out once there’s a reason.
The medium-high oil content is the bit to keep in mind through the seasons. An oily pellet isn’t automatically useless in winter, but it wouldn’t be my default recommendation for piling onto a cold, quiet swim. A lower-oil option and a smaller overall helping can be the simpler starting point when fish aren’t feeding much. In warmer water, with fish visibly getting on the munch, this sort of blend becomes an easier fit. Even then, activity should guide your feeding more than the calendar or an exciting ingredient list.
Another useful detail is that the pellets partially retain their shape as they break down. Don’t read that as a guaranteed number of hours on the spot, because there isn’t a confirmed breakdown schedule here. Temperature, water movement and any soaking you do can change how a pellet behaves. A little tub check with water close to the lake’s temperature is dead handy before you commit. Watch how the sizes soften and what remains, then use that as a rough guide rather than a promise about what’s happening beneath your marker.
We haven’t put Halibut Ultramix through an on-the-bank test, so this is a look at its intended use and buying trade-offs, not a catch report. On that basis, it’s a practical choice for anglers who already like fishy pellets and want several sizes ready to go. The compromises are straightforward: you lose some control over the blend, and the oil level won’t suit every feeding situation. If those points fit your fishing, it’s a handy bag to have along. Just let location and sensible feeding do the heavy lifting.

Our take
Mixed sizes do the useful bit
The attraction isn’t simply that these smell strongly of fish. It’s having different-sized sinking pellets in one bag, with varying breakdown times and some shape retained as they soften.
That gives you a straightforward way to vary the feed on your spot. You still need to judge the quantity, keep the rig fishing cleanly and put it where fish actually want to feed.
Inside the bag
Closer look: a mixed feed, not a timed release system
What you’re buying is a ready-blended sinking pellet feed with a strong fish profile. Its practical distinction is the combination of sizes and varying breakdown times. The pellets retain some shape as they break down, but that doesn’t tell you exactly how long a recognisable pellet will remain on your particular spot.
For loose feeding, think about where the bait lands as well as where you aim. Mixed sizes won’t necessarily spread identically when catapulted, particularly with wind about. If a tight patch matters, a bait dropper at close range or a suitable spod approach further out can give you more control than scattering handfuls and hoping.
Worth knowing. There’s a naming and size-listing wrinkle in the supplied product details: the maker link is labelled Betaine Ultramix, and only the retailer lists 11mm alongside 4, 6 and 8mm. Check the pack description rather than assuming every listing refers to an identical blend.
Match it to your fishing
Who it suits: anglers who want convenience without overcomplicating feed
This makes most sense for a carp angler moving between little PVA offerings and baiting a larger spot. You can change the quantity and delivery without changing the entire feed base. A 1kg pack also lets you buy a mixed blend without committing to multiple bags of individual sizes.
Coarse anglers can consider it as loose feed where halibut-type pellets are allowed, but check fishery rules first. Some venues restrict pellet types or require their own feed. It’s also not automatically a replacement for a dedicated hook pellet: suitability for loose feeding doesn’t establish that every piece will drill neatly or hold well in a band.
If you like controlling every ratio, separate bags will suit you better. The same goes for anyone wanting a uniform small pellet for predictable bag packing or feeding. Convenience is the win here; exact control over each size is the trade-off.
Bank-side questions
FAQs in full: bags, breakdown and cold-water use
Can you use it in PVA bags? Yes—that’s a listed use. Dry pellets are the straightforward route. If you add a liquid, check its PVA compatibility first and try a small bag before making up a session’s worth. There’s no need to add extra oil simply because the pellets smell fishy already.
How fast does it break down? No exact timing is confirmed. The different sizes break down at different rates and keep some shape during the process. Check them in water at a relevant temperature, including any soak or liquid you intend to use. A warm kitchen glass won’t faithfully show what happens in a chilly lake.
Can you feed it in winter? You can consider it, but keep the medium-high oil content and actual feeding activity in mind. Small quantities are a more cautious starting point than a big bed of bait. If you want a simple cold-water pellet choice, a lower-oil feed avoids that particular compromise.

How quickly do the pellets break down?
There’s no confirmed timing here. The different sizes have varying breakdown times, and the pellets partially retain their shape as they break down. Check a sample in water close to the lake’s temperature before relying on a particular window.
03Are they suitable for winter?
Are they suitable for winter?
They’re not automatically ruled out, but the medium-high oil content makes modest feeding sensible. For consistently cold conditions and slow feeding, a lower-oil pellet may be the easier choice.
