Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing compact PVA presentations. The 3mm size suits a small parcel of feed around the hookbait without needing to put loads into the swim.
- Anglers building a varied Pacific Tuna feed mix. The 6mm pellets give you a chunkier addition alongside other loose feed, with the same Pacific Tuna liquid running through them.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers wanting near-instant pellet breakdown. The quoted cold-water times run into hours, so these aren’t the obvious choice for a feed that needs to disappear quickly.
- Anglers trying to avoid smaller fish. Small edible pellets can interest plenty besides carp; they won’t make your feeding approach selective.

Quick verdict
A useful supporting act around your hookbait
Pacific Tuna Pellets look a cracking fit if you want a low-oil feed that works in small PVA parcels or a bigger bait mix. Two sizes give you genuinely different options rather than just another choice to scratch your head over.
The main thing is matching the pellet to the job. Neither size is an instant-breakdown feed, and this isn’t a promise of more bites. Pick your spot, feed sensibly and let the pellets play their part.

The stated protein ingredients, low oil content and Pacific Tuna liquid make a well-considered package on paper.
Two sizes and the paste option offer useful flexibility, though breakdown behaviour hasn’t been checked by us.
They offer practical ways to present feed near a hookbait, but any effect on catches depends on location, feeding and presentation.
Clear size-specific uses make choosing between PVA work and loose feeding refreshingly straightforward.
The range of uses supports reasonable potential value, although no verified current price is available for a firm comparison.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the CC Moore Pacific Tuna Pellets
CC Moore Pacific Tuna Pellets are the sort of supporting bait that can fit into plenty of carp sessions without turning your prep into a right faff. You’ve got deep red expander pellets, infused with Pacific Tuna liquid, in 3mm and 6mm sizes. Both come in 1kg packs. The appeal is fairly straightforward: choose a size that suits how you’re putting bait out, then use it to add feed around your hookbait. We haven’t fished with them, so this is a look at what they offer, not a catch report.
The 3mm version is the obvious starting point if little PVA bags or sticks are your thing. Small pellets suit a compact parcel where you want some food close to the rig rather than a whole dinner spread across the swim. That can make sense when casting at showing fish, checking a marginal spot or keeping things restrained during a short session. Don’t confuse a neat mouthful with a guaranteed quick bite, though. The rig still needs to land cleanly, and the fish still need to be there.
Move up to 6mm and the job changes a bit. CC Moore points this size towards catapulting and spod mixes, which gives you a handy option when you want to feed a patch rather than just dress the hookbait. Mixed with other suitable loose feed, it adds another food size for fish to pick through. If you’re clipped up and feeding accurately, that’s useful flexibility. Just don’t assume a bigger pellet means you should pile more in. Start with what the conditions and the fish are telling you.
Inside, there’s a mix of fish, yeast, poultry and vegetable proteins, with protein-derived amino acids also part of the appeal. The stated profile is salty and savoury, rather than a sweet bait approach. For anyone already using Pacific Tuna, these pellets are an easy way to carry that range through the loose feed as well. You don’t have to match every item in the bucket, mind. A matching name isn’t a magic feeding trigger, and a balanced approach matters more than having every bag lined up in the same colours.
The low oil content is another useful part of the picture, especially if you’re considering them for colder-water work. It makes them a sensible option to look at rather than automatically reaching for an oily feed pellet. That doesn’t mean winter carp suddenly want a bucketful. When bites are scarce, a modest helping on a spot you’ve got confidence in is often the more measured starting point. Treat low oil as a feature that helps you choose your bait, not permission to ignore how little the fish may be eating.
Breakdown is where it pays to slow down and read the detail. The stated cold-water time is three hours for the 3mm pellets and six hours for the 6mm. Those aren’t timings we’ve checked, and your own water conditions and bait preparation can alter what happens. They do give you a useful steer, though: neither size should be bought on the assumption that it instantly turns to mush. If your plan depends on a particular release speed, try a few in lake water before committing your whole approach to it.
There’s another option beyond feeding them as pellets: they can be scalded into a cloud-forming paste. That’s dead handy if you like adapting one bait for different jobs instead of carrying half the tackle shop. Prepare it carefully, allow it to cool before handling and have a play with the consistency before you need it on the bank. Once you’ve introduced water, keep that prepared bait away from ordinary PVA. There’s no point making a tidy parcel only to have it start falling apart before you’ve even cast out.
Overall, the strongest reason to buy Pacific Tuna Pellets is practical flexibility, not some grand promise that the rods will be off. The 3mm gives you a compact feeding option; the 6mm suits a more substantial loose-feed approach. The paste option adds a useful extra. A 1kg pack is manageable for measured feeding, although regular heavy baiting will get through it quickly. Choose the version for your delivery method, keep an eye on breakdown and feed to the situation. That’s a much better starting point than simply chucking more bait at a blank.

Our take
Choose by delivery method, not just pellet size
Go 3mm when you want a compact PVA bag or stick close to the hookbait. Go 6mm when catapulting or adding a chunkier pellet to a spod mix makes more sense.
The stated cold-water breakdown times are three hours and six hours respectively. That difference matters if you’re fishing a short bite-time rather than leaving a rig out for much of the day.
The bait
Closer look: two sizes with different jobs
What you’re buying is a low-oil expander pellet carrying Pacific Tuna liquid, with a deep red appearance and a salty, savoury profile. The protein ingredients span fish, yeast, poultry and vegetable proteins. That tells you what’s in the feed; it doesn’t tell you how many bites you’ll get.
For tidy PVA work, the 3mm is the natural pick. For catapulting or adding pellets to a spod mix, look at the 6mm. If you add any extra liquid for PVA use, check that the liquid is PVA-friendly rather than assuming it’ll be fine because it’s sold for fishing.
Worth knowing. Breakdown and attraction aren’t the same thing. The quoted three- and six-hour cold-water breakdown times shouldn’t be read as a delay before the pellets can interest fish, or as an exact feeding window.
Your session
Who it suits: measured feeding or a mixed bait spot
If you travel light and fish short sessions, the 3mm option gives you a straightforward bag-and-stick feed. Keep portions modest while you work out whether fish are visiting the spot. A small parcel is easy to repeat; a big helping you regret is rather harder to retrieve.
If you’re settling in and building a baited area, the 6mm option fits more naturally into a loose-feed mix. It’s also a sensible candidate for anglers already fishing Pacific Tuna hookbaits or boilies, although using a matching range is a convenience rather than a requirement.
Less keen on nuisance fish? These won’t solve that for you. And if you need a feed that collapses very quickly during a brief bite-time, look carefully at those breakdown figures before choosing. The right pellet is the one that fits the job, mate, not necessarily the one matching your boilie bag.
Bank-side questions
FAQs in full: size, breakdown and paste
Which size should you buy? Start with the delivery method. The 3mm suits compact PVA bags and sticks, while 6mm is intended for catapulting and spod mixes. You don’t need both unless your fishing genuinely calls for both approaches.
How long will they last underwater? CC Moore gives cold-water breakdown times of three hours for 3mm and six hours for 6mm. Use those as a starting guide. A quick check in a tub of lake water can help you judge how your prepared bait behaves, without pretending it perfectly recreates the lake bed.
Can you turn them into paste? Yes, scalding them produces a cloud-forming paste. Let it cool and check the texture before use. Don’t assume that every consistency will stay on a hook through a cast; test the presentation you intend to fish rather than finding out after it’s on the spot.
On paper
Pros & cons
