CC Moore Pro-Stim Liver Glugged Hookbaits
10 × 15 mm / 15 × 18 mm
Pellet-shaped sinkers with a smoked garlic sausage aroma and a PVA-friendly soak. A handy fit for Pro-Stim Liver users, without pretending a glugged hookbait can rescue a badly placed rig.
- Pellet-shaped sinking hookbaits in two sizes.
- 10 × 15 mm: 50 hookbaits per pot.
- 15 × 18 mm: 35 hookbaits per pot.
- Infused with PVA-friendly Pro-Stim Liver Bait Booster liquid.

Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carpers already feeding Pro-Stim Liver. You can keep the hookbait and loose feed closely matched without sorting your own liquid treatment.
- Bottom-bait anglers using small PVA parcels. The sinking format and PVA-friendly soak fit a straightforward hookbait-and-feed presentation.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers wanting a ready-balanced wafter or pop-up. These sink; adding buoyancy means modifying the presentation and checking it yourself.
- Coarse anglers needing a tiny, delicate bait. Even the smaller option is a substantial mouthful beside a small pellet or grain of corn.
The lowdown
Introducing the CC Moore Pro-Stim Liver Glugged Hookbaits
Pellet-shaped sinkers with a smoked garlic sausage aroma and a PVA-friendly soak. A handy fit for Pro-Stim Liver users, without pretending a glugged hookbait can rescue a badly placed rig.
- Pellet-shaped sinking hookbaits in two sizes.
- 10 × 15 mm: 50 hookbaits per pot.
- 15 × 18 mm: 35 hookbaits per pot.
- Infused with PVA-friendly Pro-Stim Liver Bait Booster liquid.
Quick verdict
A tidy match-the-feed option
If you’re already feeding Pro-Stim Liver, these make plenty of sense. You get matching sinking hookbaits, a ready-applied liquid boost and two sizes to work around your presentation. No home-soaking faff required.
The catch? They won’t balance your hook like a wafter, and we can’t vouch for their toughness or pulling power from bank use. Buy them for the matched bait approach and convenience, not promises of a screaming take.

The matching base mix and purpose-matched liquid treatment make a coherent hookbait package
The soluble content and ready-applied booster offer a sensible attraction approach without establishing release duration or underwater performance.
A matched, boosted hookbait can support a sound baiting approach, but there’s no demonstrated catch advantage here.
Ready-glugged sinking baits and PVA-friendly liquid keep preparation straightforward.
The stated pot counts and saved soaking effort suggest reasonable utility, subject to the price you actually pay.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the CC Moore Pro-Stim Liver Glugged Hookbaits
Some hookbaits are there to shout above your freebies. These take a different route. CC Moore Pro-Stim Liver Glugged Hookbaits are pellet-shaped sinkers that match the Pro-Stim Liver bait range, with a liquid boost already applied. The appeal is pretty straightforward, mate: a hookbait that belongs on your baited spot, without another tub of liquid and a week of kitchen-counter soaking. We haven’t used them on the bank, so this is a look at what you’re buying and where it makes sense, not a catch report.
The important bit is that these use the same base mix and liquids as Pro-Stim Liver Boilies. Their colour and profile also match the range’s Boilies and Paste. That gives you a joined-up approach if you’re fishing over whole boilies, chops or crumb from the same range. It doesn’t mean carp will automatically accept your hookbait, obviously. There’s still a hook and line attached. But if your plan is to match the grub rather than drop a bright contrast bait over it, these fit that job neatly.
You’ve got two size options: 10 × 15 mm with 50 hookbaits in the pot, or 15 × 18 mm with 35. Those are pellet-shaped dimensions, not the diameter of a round boilie, so don’t read the smaller option as simply a 10 mm ball. Choose around the overall mouthful and your rig rather than chasing a magic size. The smaller version is the natural starting point when you want to keep things modest; the larger one gives you a chunkier offering without swapping bait families.
They’re infused with Pro-Stim Liver Bait Booster, and the aroma is described as smoked garlic sausage. Proper savoury territory, then, rather than a fruity sweetshop smell. The high soluble content is intended to encourage attractor release once the bait is in the water. That’s the thinking behind the extra boost, but smell alone isn’t proof of extra bites. We can’t tell you how far its attraction reaches, how quickly it releases in your lake, or whether it’ll beat an unglugged bait on a particular day.
One genuinely useful detail is that the soaking liquid is PVA-friendly. If you like nicking on a small mesh parcel of crumb or pellets, you’re not starting with a liquid that’s unsuitable for the job. A little parcel can keep a mouthful of attraction tight to the hookbait without carpeting the swim. Just keep wet hands, rainwater and any extra liquid you haven’t checked away from the mesh. PVA-friendly bait liquid doesn’t somehow make the rest of your bagging kit waterproof. Keep it dry and save yourself the faff.
Rig-wise, think bottom bait, not ready-made wafter. A straightforward hair rig is a sensible place to start, provided the hookbait sits properly and leaves the hook free to do its job. Check the whole arrangement in the edge before casting, especially if you change sizes. If you add buoyant corn or another topper, check it again rather than assuming the combination is balanced. The hook, topper and bait all affect how it settles. Bosh it out unchecked and you’re guessing about the most important few inches of the setup.
Your lakebed matters more than the lovely smell coming out of the pot. On a suitable clean patch, a sinking bait is an uncomplicated choice. Over weed or soft debris, you’ll need to think harder about whether that presentation stays accessible, or whether another hookbait type suits the spot better. Likewise, a boosted bait isn’t a licence to pile feed in during a slow winter spell. Start with what the fish are showing you, keep the feed sensible, and adjust when there’s a reason to.
The strongest buying case is convenience for anglers who already rate the Pro-Stim Liver approach. You get a matching bait, two useful choices of mouthful and a soak that plays nicely with PVA. What you don’t get from this review is a made-up claim about surviving nuisance fish or staying perfect through an overnight soak; we haven’t checked either. If you want a simple, savoury sinking hookbait to complement the feed you’re already using, these deserve a look. If you want instant buoyancy, you’re shopping in the wrong bit of the range.

Our take
Match the grub, keep the presentation simple
These aren’t bright visual targets. Their colour and bait profile match Pro-Stim Liver Boilies and Paste, giving you a hookbait that belongs among the freebies.
The PVA-friendly soaking liquid makes a small mesh parcel a natural partner. Keep the hookbait close to a little mouthful of feed, then put your effort into finding where the carp actually want to eat.
What’s in the pot
Closer look: matched bait with the soaking already sorted
The key distinction is the combination of a matching bait recipe and a liquid treatment. These use the same base mix and liquids as Pro-Stim Liver Boilies, then come infused with Pro-Stim Liver Bait Booster. It’s a convenient way to keep your hookbait within the same savoury bait profile as your feed.
The pellet shape gives you a different outline from a round free offering, while the colour remains matched to the range. That isn’t a proven hooking advantage. Treat it as a presentation choice, and leave enough room on the hair for the hook to move freely rather than crowding everything together.
Worth knowing. High soluble content describes the attraction-release approach, not a guaranteed breakdown time. We haven’t checked how these handle long immersion, repeated casts or nuisance-fish attention, so inspect your bait when you reel in.
Finding its place
Who it suits: bottom-bait anglers keeping things joined up
Already taking Pro-Stim Liver boilies to the lake? That’s the clearest fit. These let you fish a matching boosted hookbait over a spread of freebies or beside a small parcel of crumb. Handy for anglers who’d rather tie a sound rig and get on with finding fish than spend the evening tinkering with bait tubs.
They’re less convincing as a purchase if your fishing revolves around pop-ups over debris or carefully balanced wafters. You can experiment with added buoyancy, but that takes away some of the straight-from-the-pot convenience. Neither size is a tiny offering, either, so delicate small-hook coarse work calls for something else.
For value, compare the pot price you’re actually paying with the size you need. Fifty smaller baits versus 35 larger ones doesn’t automatically make the smaller pot the better buy. A hookbait that suits your rig is more useful than extra pieces you only bought to save a few quid.
Quick bank-side answers
FAQs in full: sinking, sizing and PVA
Are they wafters? No, they’re sinking hookbaits. Fish them as bottom baits unless you deliberately add buoyancy. If you do add a topper, check the complete rig in water; a balanced presentation depends on your hook and the whole bait combination, not just the label on the pot.
Which sizes and quantities do you get? The 10 × 15 mm option contains 50 hookbaits, while the 15 × 18 mm option contains 35. Pick the mouthful that works with your intended presentation, then check the hair length and hook clearance with an actual bait attached.
Can they go with PVA? Yes: the soaking liquid is PVA-friendly. That’s dead handy for mesh parcels, but it doesn’t cover whatever else you pour into your mix. If you’re adding another liquid, check that separately and keep the finished PVA away from moisture until it’s time to cast.
