Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers already using Live System. An easy way to add smaller feed items while keeping the same liquid attractors as the boilies and paste.
- Anglers who swap between bags and mixed feed. The pellets can move from a compact PVA presentation into a particle or spod mix without needing a separate bait for each job.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers trying to avoid nuisance fish. A patch of small, accessible food isn't selective; larger baits may suit that job better.
- Anglers wanting a guaranteed timed release. A precise breakdown time isn't confirmed here, and water temperature and preparation can change how pellets behave.

Quick verdict
A useful supporting act
Live System Pellets make plenty of sense if you want small food items around your hookbait without adding another completely different bait profile. Bags, sticks, particles and spod mixes are all on the menu.
The two sizes and low-oil recipe give them useful flexibility. Just don't mistake a matching aroma for a shortcut to a bite: location, feeding levels and a rig that presents properly still do the heavy lifting.

The mixed protein ingredients and shared Live System liquid attractors make a well-considered offering
The stated suitability for bags, sticks, loose feed and paste gives useful flexibility
They provide a practical way to place small food items around a hookbait, but no catch-rate advantage has been established.
Dry bag filling and mixing into loose feed are straightforward, with paste preparation requiring a little more care.
Several uses from one pack suggest reasonable utility, but a firm value judgement needs the actual selling price.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the CC Moore Live System Pellets
Pellets aren't usually the glamorous bit of a carp setup, are they? You can spend ages choosing a hookbait, then chuck whatever's handy into the bag around it. CC Moore Live System Pellets offer a more joined-up option, especially if you're already fishing the matching boilies. They're a low-oil feed pellet with a sweet almond taste and vanilla cream aroma, designed for several baiting jobs rather than just one.
The straightforward buying choice is diameter: 3mm or 6mm, with both supplied in 1kg packs. That gives you a useful choice of feed texture without making things complicated. The smaller size is a natural starting point for a compact solid bag, where little pellets can pack around the rig and lead. The larger option gives a loose-feed mix a chunkier feel. Neither is automatically the better carp catcher, mate. Pick the size around the presentation you want, not the idea that bigger pellets must somehow mean bigger fish.
One of the more useful details is that these use the same liquid attractors as Live System Boilies and Paste. If that range already forms the backbone of your baiting, adding the pellets is an easy way to introduce smaller food items without taking the mix in a completely different direction. That's convenience, not proof that everything must match. A bright, contrasting hookbait can still sit over them perfectly sensibly. The point is having a feed that fits your approach, rather than feeling obliged to buy the whole range.
The ingredients include fish, yeast, poultry and vegetable proteins, alongside essential amino acids derived from proteins. So don't read the sweet, creamy description and assume this is simply a sugary cereal pellet. There's a mixed protein base behind it. Equally, an ingredient list can't tell you whether the carp in your swim will get their heads down today. That comes back to finding them, judging their appetite and putting the bait somewhere they'll feed comfortably. A lovely-smelling bucket is no consolation if the fish are showing three swims away.
For PVA work, these have an obvious place in both bags and sticks. A small parcel of feed around a properly presented rig can be dead handy when you're casting at showing fish or want a modest mouthful rather than a dinner plate. Keep the pellets dry while you're preparing the PVA, and don't assume any old liquid additive will be safe with it. If you fancy giving them a coating, choose something explicitly PVA-friendly. Do a quick check before committing a carefully tied bag to a long chuck.
They also suit particle, spod and loose-feed mixes, which is handy if your session changes as the fish respond. You might begin with a small, accurately placed helping and only build the spot once there's a reason to do so. Mixing pellet sizes can vary the texture, but remember you're still adding food with every scoop. In colder conditions or when bites are thin on the ground, that matters. Low oil is a useful characteristic to have; it isn't permission to empty a kilo over a barely feeding carp.
There's another option if you like tinkering: the pellets can be scalded to make a cloud-forming paste. That's a proper useful bit of versatility, although don't expect a magic water ratio from us. Start with a small amount, add hot water cautiously and let it cool before handling, then see what consistency you've got. A soft feed paste and a paste you expect to stay wrapped around something aren't necessarily the same thing. Have a little play at home rather than discovering you've made pellet soup just before bite-time.
The main unanswered practical detail is precise breakdown time. Without a confirmed figure, there's no point pretending the 3mm pellets disappear on a stopwatch or the 6mm ones last a particular number of hours. Put a few in a clear tub with water from the venue and watch what happens; it's a simple guide, not a perfect copy of lake conditions. Keep the rest cool, dry and out of direct sunlight. Overall, these look like a flexible supporting feed, particularly for Live System users who want less faff between presentations.

Our take
Build the feed around your hookbait
The main appeal is how easily these pellets slot into a wider baiting approach. They use the same liquid attractors as Live System Boilies and Paste, so keeping the loose feed consistent is dead straightforward.
You don't have to use a matching hookbait, either. A contrasting wafter over a small patch of pellets is a perfectly sensible option when you want the hookbait to stand out.
What you're buying
Two sizes and several useful jobs
You're buying a low-oil feed pellet, available in 3mm and 6mm sizes. Both come in 1kg packs. The sweet almond taste and vanilla cream aroma sit alongside a mixed protein base, with the same liquid attractors used in Live System Boilies and Paste. That makes them an obvious companion to the range, but not an exclusive one.
Think of the diameter choice mainly as a presentation choice. Smaller pellets are handy for filling out a tight bag; larger ones add chunkier pieces to loose feed. For a spod mix containing wet particles, add the pellets closer to use if you want to limit how long they sit absorbing moisture before they reach the lake.
Worth knowing. Suitable for PVA doesn't mean a wet pellet mix is PVA-safe. Keep bag and stick mixes dry, or use an explicitly PVA-friendly liquid. Keep scalded paste separate from ordinary PVA preparation.
On the bank
A good fit for anglers who keep their options open
If you alternate between casting small bags and feeding a clipped-up spot, these cover both jobs. That's handy for short sessions, when carrying three different buckets of bait feels a bit daft. Start with the presentation the swim calls for, then change your feeding level according to actual signs of fish activity.
Existing Live System users get the clearest reason to choose them: a matching attractor profile in a smaller feed item. Anglers who enjoy making their own mixes also get useful flexibility, whether that's adding a handful to particles or experimenting with scalded paste.
They're less convincing as a solution to nuisance fish. Small feed items can interest species you weren't aiming for, and matching your boilies won't make that problem disappear. Likewise, if your whole plan depends on pellets holding their shape for a set period, check their behaviour first rather than guessing.
The practical bits
Size, PVA and making paste
Which size should you buy? Go for 3mm if compact bags and finer-textured feed are your main jobs. The 6mm option makes sense when you want larger individual pieces in a loose-feed mix. Using both is reasonable too, but there's no need to buy two packs unless that mixed texture actually helps your approach.
Can they go in PVA? Yes, both bags and sticks are suitable uses. Keep damp hands, wet tools and particle water away from your dry bag mix. If you're adding liquid, check that particular liquid is PVA-friendly rather than assuming anything sold for fishing will behave.
How do you make the paste? Scalding is the stated method, but a fixed water quantity isn't confirmed here. Work on a small batch, add hot water cautiously and allow it to cool before checking the texture. Treat the resulting cloud-forming paste as something to experiment with, not a guaranteed durable hookbait straight from the bowl.

01Which size should I choose: 3mm or 6mm?
Which size should I choose: 3mm or 6mm?
The 3mm size is a sensible starting point for compact PVA bags and finer mixes. Choose 6mm for a chunkier loose-feed mix, or combine both. Size alone doesn't tell you exactly how long they'll take to break down.
02Can I use Live System Pellets in PVA bags?
Can I use Live System Pellets in PVA bags?
Yes, they're suitable for PVA bags and sticks. Keep them dry during preparation, and only add liquids that are explicitly PVA-friendly.
03Can they be turned into paste?
Can they be turned into paste?
Yes. They can be scalded to make a cloud-forming paste. Start with a small batch, add hot water cautiously and let it cool before handling; avoid assuming a fixed water ratio.
