Make sure it’s the right one. This is CC Moore Mini Ultramix, product code 90057. CC Moore describes the pellets as 2–4mm; Angling Direct lists 1–3mm, so the size descriptions don't quite match.

Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing solid PVA bags. The small mixed pellets suit a compact food parcel around a short bag rig.
- Anglers feeding small, controlled amounts. You can introduce a little loose feed and top up in response to activity, rather than committing loads at the off.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers trying to avoid small fish. Small pellets aren't selective, and other species may get stuck in before a carp arrives.
- Anglers needing one predictable breakdown time. It's a mixed pellet blend with broad cold-water breakdown ranges, not a precisely timed feed.

Quick verdict
A handy bag mix, not a magic bag of bites
Mini Ultramix makes plenty of sense for solid PVA bags and measured loose feeding. You get a ready-blended mix of small halibut, trout and krill pellets without buying separate bags and mixing them yourself.
The main catches are variable breakdown times and limited selectivity: little pellets won't just interest carp.

It offers a practical way to place food around a hookbait without providing any guarantee of extra bites.
A ready-blended feed keeps preparation straightforward for solid bags and loose feeding.
One mixed pack may save buying several separate bags, but its actual value depends on the price you pay.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the CC Moore Mini Ultramix Pellets
CC Moore Mini Ultramix Pellets are the sort of bait that makes sense when you want to keep things tidy. Not a mountain of feed. Not three open bags spilling across the bivvy floor. Just a ready-made blend of small pellets you can use in a solid PVA bag or introduce loose around your hookbait. The idea is simple: put a manageable patch of food where you're fishing and let the fish's response decide what happens next. That's a useful starting point, especially when you're trying to nick a bite.
What you're buying is a 1kg pack containing halibut, trout and krill pellets, with black, brown and red colours in the mix. CC Moore also lists fish proteins, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and omega fish oils. That tells you this is a fish-based food blend, rather than just something colourful to bulk out a bag. It doesn't tell you how many bites you'll get, mind. Location, presentation and how much you introduce still do the heavy lifting. No ingredient list can rescue a rig dropped miles away from feeding fish.
There's one little wrinkle with the sizing. CC Moore calls these 2–4mm pellets, while Angling Direct describes them as 1–3mm. We'd go with the manufacturer's description as the main guide, but don't buy them expecting every pellet to match one exact diameter. Either way, the intended job is a small-pellet mix. That's handy for filling the spaces around a lead and short hooklink in a solid bag, where chunky feed can make packing awkward. If precise sizing is crucial to your approach, check the current pack before committing.
For carp fishing, the obvious home is a compact solid bag carrying your rig and a modest helping of pellets. Done properly, that gives you a concentrated patch rather than food scattered all over the shop. Keep your bag components dry, settle the contents as you fill, and follow the bag maker's filling and tying guidance. If you're adding liquid, make sure it's clearly labelled PVA-friendly. A splash of something unsuitable can turn a neatly packed bag into a proper faff before you've even picked up the rod.
Loose feeding gives you another option, whether you're placing bait accurately in the margins or adding a little around a known spot. Small pellets let you introduce plenty of individual morsels without each one being much of a mouthful. That can suit a cautious start, followed by measured top-ups if fish are clearly feeding. It isn't selective, though. Bream, tench and smaller fish may all show interest, depending on the water. Great if you're happy with mixed action; less cracking if you're trying to keep everything except carp away.
Breakdown deserves a proper look because tiny pellets don't automatically mean instant mush. CC Moore gives cold-water guidance of 1–3 hours for the 2mm pellets and 30 minutes–4 hours for the 4mm pellets. Those overlapping ranges are broad, and they don't support a neat story about every small pellet melting first and every larger one lasting longer. Treat them as guidance rather than a stopwatch. A clear tub of water at a similar temperature can give you a useful feel for softening before you decide how often to top up.
In colder conditions, I'd keep the initial helping modest and watch what the swim tells you. The mix contains fish oils, but that alone doesn't prove it'll be brilliant or useless in winter. Fish activity and feeding levels matter more than a sweeping seasonal label. Likewise, warmer water isn't a free pass to pile it in. A few liners aren't proof that the spot has been cleared. Start with an amount that suits your session length, stock levels and target fish, then build it up if there's a reason.
The real appeal here is convenience. You get several pellet types in one pack, ready for two straightforward jobs, without needing to knock up your own blend. Whether that saves you quid depends on the price you actually pay and whether you'd use separate bags anyway. On its stated ingredients and intended uses, though, it's a sensible option for anglers who like a small food parcel and controlled feeding rather than chucking in bait for the sake of it.

Our take
Keep the feed tight and the expectations sensible
The appeal is a compact food patch around your hookbait. Small pellets fit neatly into solid bags, giving you plenty of individual food items without needing a big helping.
Don't confuse small with instant. CC Moore's cold-water breakdown guidance stretches into hours, so feed according to the response rather than assuming the last lot has already disappeared.
What's in the bag
Closer look: a mixed pellet feed with a straightforward job
Mini Ultramix combines halibut, trout and krill pellets in a small format. The useful bit isn't simply having three names on the pack. It's getting a ready-blended feed you can use without stocking several separate pellet bags. The black, brown and red colours give it a mixed appearance, but there's no need to pretend that colour variety alone makes fish easier to catch.
For solid bags, think of it as feed surrounding the presentation, not a fix for a badly arranged rig. Keep the hookpoint clear of anything that could mask it, use a suitable bag setup and make sure the finished parcel casts cleanly. For loose feeding, remember these are small, light items: depth and water movement can affect where they settle.
Worth knowing. PVA dissolving and pellets breaking down are separate things. Your bag can release its contents while the pellets remain intact for much longer. CC Moore's cold-water guidance runs from 30 minutes to four hours across the listed pellet sizes, so don't assume the food has gone just because the bag has.
Pick your approach
Who it suits: bag anglers and measured feeders
This is an easy fit for the carp angler who already likes solid bags and wants a ready-made pellet filler. It's also a sensible option for short sessions where you're starting with a small parcel rather than establishing a big baited area. You're buying convenience and a mixed food offering, not a shortcut past finding the fish.
Mixed-species anglers may find the loose-feed option useful too, provided pellets are allowed on the venue. If your lake has plenty of small fish or bream and you only want carp, the same accessible little morsels become a drawback. Check fishery rules before opening the bag: some waters restrict pellet types or require their own feed.
It makes less sense if you need a single pellet size or a very specific softening behaviour. Nothing in the supplied details establishes it as a dedicated expander hook pellet or a ready-prepared method-feeder mix. Buy it for its stated solid-bag and loose-feed roles, rather than assuming it'll cover every pellet job in your tackle shed.
The practical bits
FAQs in full: PVA, breakdown and pellet sizes
Can you use it in solid PVA bags? Yes, that's one of its stated uses. Dry pellets are the straightforward starting point. Keep wet hands and damp tools away from your bags, and check any added liquid is PVA-friendly. Try a small prepared bag in water before committing to a new combination; it's cheaper than finding out something's wrong after you've cast.
How long does it last in cold water? CC Moore lists 1–3 hours for 2mm pellets and 30 minutes–4 hours for 4mm pellets. That isn't a promise of an exact feeding window. Check how the pellets behave in water close to your venue's temperature, and don't confuse softening with fish having eaten the lot.
Which size description should you follow? The manufacturer's 2–4mm description is the sensible main guide, but Angling Direct's 1–3mm listing creates a genuine mismatch. There's no need to guess why. If you need a precise size, check the current packaging or ask the seller before ordering. Otherwise, treat this as a small mixed-pellet feed rather than a uniform-size product.
