Make sure it’s the right one. These are the white Pacific Tuna pop-up hookbaits, not the matching bottom baits. We haven't tested them on the bank; this review looks at their stated features and practical rig uses.

Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Anglers fishing Ronnie, Chod or Hinged Stiff rigs. These are purpose-made buoyant hookbaits for those presentations, with two size options to help match the finished rig.
- Pacific Tuna users wanting a standout hookbait. You get the range's meaty-shellfish flavour direction in a bright white bait, useful over matching feed or fished alone.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers wanting a discreet match-the-hatch presentation. White is deliberately conspicuous rather than a close visual match for darker boilies.
- Anyone after a straight sinking hookbait. The buoyancy is the point here; choose a bottom bait if lifting the presentation isn't part of your plan.

White visibility, a meaty-shellfish flavour blend and buoyancy aimed at proper pop-up presentations. A handy option when you want your hookbait to stand out rather than blend in.

Quick verdict
A useful standout bait, not a shortcut to a bite
The Pacific Tuna White Pop Ups make sense if you want a visible, buoyant hookbait for Ronnie, Chod or Hinged Stiff rigs. The matching meaty-shellfish flavour also gives Pacific Tuna users a straightforward way to fish something brighter over their feed.
The stated long-lasting buoyancy is appealing, but check your complete rig rather than trusting the bait alone. These look like a useful addition to the bait bag, not something that'll rescue poor location or a badly balanced presentation.

The dedicated pop-up mix and tough-skinned construction make a promising package, though we haven't checked consistency ourselves.
Stated long-lasting buoyancy suits established pop-up presentations, subject to checking the complete rig.
Visibility and presentation flexibility offer useful tactical choices without guaranteeing more bites.
They're straightforward ready-made hookbaits, but balancing and soak checks still need your attention.
The 55-bait 12mm pot and several rig uses suggest useful scope, although the actual deal depends on the price you pay.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the CC Moore Pacific Tuna White Pop Ups
Sometimes you want your hookbait to blend into the dinner table. Sometimes you want it waving a little white flag saying, 'Over here, mate.' CC Moore Pacific Tuna White Pop Ups are firmly in that second camp. They're high-visibility, buoyant hookbaits carrying the range's meaty-shellfish flavour blend, built for presentations that lift the bait rather than leave it sitting flat on the deck. The attraction here isn't some secret shortcut to a PB. It's a bright hookbait with several sensible jobs in the bait bag.
The white colour is the obvious starting point. Against a dark lakebed or a patch of darker freebies, it can give your hookbait a distinct visual contrast. That makes sense when you're fishing a single or want one obvious target above a baited spot. Don't read that as a promise that white always wins, though. Light levels, water clarity and the way the fish are feeding all matter. Some days a standout bait is the right call; on others, something quieter fits the job better.
The Pacific Tuna connection is useful if you're already feeding that range. You can change the visual side of the hookbait without moving away from its meaty-shellfish flavour direction. Equally, there's no rule saying it must sit over matching boilies. A single white pop-up gives you a way to put a hookbait near showing fish without introducing a load of feed. That's a tactical option rather than a catch guarantee, and finding the carp still matters far more than choosing a favourite pot colour.
Sizes are listed as 12mm and 13/14mm, with 55 baits in the 12mm pot. That gives you a choice when matching bait size to the presentation, although diameter alone doesn't tell you which hook it'll support. A heavier hook, a different bait attachment or extra metalwork can change the balance. Don't just grab the biggest bait and assume you're sorted. Build the rig you actually intend to cast, then check it in water with every component fitted. It's a tiny bit of faff that earns its place.
CC Moore makes these using its CCM Pop Up Mix, intended to allow flavour and attractor release, and gives them a tough skin. The stated buoyancy lasts 24 hours or longer, which is appealing if you want to leave a well-placed rig alone through a bite-time. We haven't tested that duration on the bank, so treat it as a stated feature rather than our own finding. For longer soaks, checking a spare bait on your intended rig beforehand is a sensible way to build confidence.
Chod, Ronnie and Hinged Stiff rigs are all named uses, but they don't ask exactly the same thing of a hookbait. With a Ronnie, you're balancing a low pop-up presentation; with a Chod or Hinged Stiff arrangement, dependable lift is central to how the raised section sits. Either way, check the hook's position and how the complete rig settles. Adjust the counterweight where the rig calls for it. You want a controlled presentation, not a bait dragging everything skywards or a hook collapsing into the wrong position.
There's another handy use if you prefer a snowman: put one above a sinking boilie to reduce the combined bait's effective weight. The result depends on both baits, the hook and the hair arrangement, so don't assume any pairing will settle nicely first go. Trimming the pop-up can help tune things, but you'll need to check it again afterwards. The texture also suits coating with matching Hookbait Booster. That's optional, not a compulsory extra purchase, and any treatment is another reason to revisit the balance.
So who should have a look? Mainly carp anglers who already use pop-up rigs and want a bright alternative, particularly anyone fishing Pacific Tuna feed. These aren't the obvious choice for someone wanting an inconspicuous bottom bait or a hookbait that needs no balancing thought. The useful bit is their flexibility: single, over feed or topping a snowman. Keep the rig tidy, pick a spot where the presentation makes sense and let the fish tell you whether white belongs on the rods that day.

Our take
Same flavour direction, brighter target
The appeal is the contrast: a white hookbait carrying the Pacific Tuna flavour blend, rather than a hookbait that disappears among your freebies.
You can fish one on its own, above a baited spot or as the buoyant top half of a snowman. Each job needs its own balance check.
What you're buying
Closer look: buoyancy with a bright white finish
This is a dedicated pop-up, not simply a pale version of a sinking boilie. The CCM Pop Up Mix provides the basis for a buoyant hookbait with flavour and attractor release, while the tough skin is intended to help it retain useful buoyancy during longer immersions.
The practical buying choice is between 12mm and 13/14mm. Choose around the complete presentation rather than treating bait diameter as a fish-size selector. A smaller hookbait doesn't mean you're only fishing for smaller carp, and a larger one doesn't automatically make the rig better.
Worth knowing. The stated 24-hour-plus buoyancy isn't a promise that every hook-and-bait combination will stay correctly balanced for that long. Check with the actual hook, attachment and counterweight you're using.
Picking your presentation
Who it suits: anglers who want contrast, not camouflage
If you've already got a reliable Ronnie or Hinged Stiff setup, these offer a straightforward change of colour and flavour without rebuilding your whole approach. They're also useful for a single-hookbait tactic when you want to cast towards activity without committing to a baited area.
Over Pacific Tuna freebies, the white finish makes the hookbait visually different while keeping the flavour direction familiar. That's an option to try, not a reason to abandon a darker hookbait that's already doing the business. Let the response on your water guide you.
They're less compelling if your usual fishing revolves around sinking baits tucked into a tight patch of feed. You can use one to balance a snowman, but if you don't need lift or contrast, there's no point adding another pot just for the sake of it.
Bank-side details
FAQs in full: sizes, rigs and extra attraction
What sizes and quantities do you get? The listed options are 12mm and 13/14mm, and the 12mm pot holds 55 baits. We aren't giving a count for the other size because that hasn't been confirmed here. Check the selected pot rather than assuming every size contains the same number.
Are they suitable for a Ronnie rig? Yes, along with Chod and Hinged Stiff rigs. The important bit is matching lift to the finished setup. Check that the hook sits as intended and the rig settles properly; a buoyant bait on its own tells you less than the complete arrangement in water.
Can you add booster or fish a snowman? Yes to both. The texture is suitable for matching Hookbait Booster, while the buoyancy can offset part of a sinking boilie's weight. Follow the booster's directions, and check the treated bait before casting. For a snowman, aim for your intended settling behaviour rather than assuming two baits straight from the pots will be bob on.
On paper

What we like
- White colour gives you a clear visual alternative to darker hookbaits.
- Useful across several established pop-up rigs.
- Can double up as the lifting bait on a snowman presentation.
- Tough skin and stated long-lasting buoyancy suit longer periods between recasts.
- Matching Hookbait Booster offers an optional extra attraction layer.
Worth knowing
- Bright white isn't always the right choice when fish favour less conspicuous hookbaits.
- Buoyancy still needs checking against your hook, attachment and counterweight.
- Not a direct substitute for a sinking hookbait when you want everything tight to the lakebed.
