Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers wanting a flexible krill-based feed. You can scale the amount up or down and use the pellets in loads of different presentations.
- Anglers fishing The Krill boilies. The pellets are made to complement the boilie range, helping you keep a consistent bait profile across the spot.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers after a very subtle, non-fishmeal bait. This is a proper marine-style pellet with a high krill content, so it’s not the quietest option in the tackle box.
- Very short sessions needing only a tiny amount of bait. The larger bags make more sense for regular use, especially if you’re spod-mixing or feeding a wider area.

Quick verdict
A cracking all-rounder for building a feeding spot
The Krill Pellets give you loads of options. Use them in a PVA bag, chuck them through a spod mix, blend them into groundbait or bind them around a method feeder.
The two-stage coating is the clever bit, giving you attraction both up in the water and down on the lake bed. Proper handy when you want a pellet that does more than simply sit there and soften.

The high krill content and two-stage coating give the pellet a clear, purposeful design.
Particle release through the water column and an orange bottom cloud should keep attraction working at different levels.
It can create a concentrated feeding patch or support a wider spod approach, though the stronger profile won’t suit every water.
It works in PVA, groundbait, spod mixes and method feeder mixes with no complicated faff.
The versatility is strong, with the larger bag particularly useful for regular baiting, though dedicated spodders may get through it quickly.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Sticky Baits The Krill Pellets
Sticky Baits The Krill Pellets are the sort of bait you can chuck in the bucket and find a job for on just about any carp session. They’re fishmeal-based, loaded with a high level of pure krill meal and available in three useful sizes: 2.3mm, 4mm and 6mm. So whether you’re after a fine feed around a rig or a chunkier pellet in a spod mix, you’ve got options.
The big selling point is the two-stage coating process. This isn’t just a standard pellet that slowly softens on the bottom and gets on with it. The outer coating releases particles that rise and fall through the water column, helping spread attraction above the baited area. Then the second coating produces a deep-orange cloud that clings around the lake bed. That’s a proper handy combination.
In clear water, those suspended particles can help create a bit of interest above your spot. Carp moving through the layers may pick up the scent and flavour before they’re right over the feed. On the deck, the orange cloud gives the fish something to investigate around the hookbait and loose offerings. It’s not magic, of course, but it gives the pellet more going on than a one-dimensional feed.
The krill profile is another big part of the appeal. Krill brings a strong marine character, and these pellets are designed for anglers who want that sort of food signal in the swim. They fit naturally with Sticky Baits The Krill boilies, so you can use the pellets as a supporting feed without chucking a completely different bait profile over the top.
Size-wise, the 2.3mm pellets are well suited to fine groundbait mixes, little PVA bags and situations where you want lots of small pieces around the rig. They’ll give the fish plenty to sift through without filling them up too quickly. That can be bob on for a cautious bite-time or when you’re fishing a small, accurate patch.
The 4mm option is probably the easiest all-rounder. It gives you enough individual pellet size to work nicely in a spod mix, while still blending into groundbait and other particles. If you only want one size in the bait bucket, this is the sensible middle ground. It’s dead handy for changing tactics without bringing half the bait cupboard.
The 6mm pellets are the more obvious feeding option. They’re useful when you want a slightly more substantial pellet in a spod mix or when you’re targeting carp that are properly on the munch. You can also mix the sizes together, giving you a spread with different breakdown and feeding characteristics. Just don’t overcomplicate things for the sake of it.
There are plenty of ways to get The Krill Pellets fishing. A PVA bag gives you a tight parcel of attraction next to the hookbait. Groundbait lets you build a softer cloud and use the smaller sizes. A spod mix gives you a broader feed area, while adding liquid and moulding the pellets around a method feeder creates a compact, food-packed offering. That versatility is the real winner here.
The one thing to keep in mind is that this is a proper krill and fishmeal bait, not a deliberately bland pellet. That’s great when the water responds to marine food signals, particularly as part of an established krill approach. If you’re fishing somewhere where subtle, low-food presentations rule the roost, you may want to keep the amount tight. A little PVA bag or a small handful around the hookbait can be the better play than going full spod-bomb.
Overall, The Krill Pellets are a cracking bit of bait for anglers who like to keep their options open. They’ve got a clear identity, a clever coating process and enough sizes to cover most carp and coarse fishing applications. Match them with The Krill boilies, keep your feed accurate and you’ve got a tidy, confident approach for plenty of sessions.
The main appeal is how easy they are to fit into your existing tactics. You don’t need a completely new rig or some mad baiting routine. Pick the size that suits the job, keep the feed where you want it and let the pellets put out their attraction. Simple, effective and not a load of faff.

Our take
Why these pellets stand out
There’s no shortage of pellets about, but The Krill Pellets have a clear job to do. The high level of pure krill meal brings a strong marine profile, while the coating process helps spread attraction through different parts of the swim.
That makes them a useful partner for The Krill boilies, but they’re not locked into one baiting approach. Whether you’re fishing a little PVA bag beside a single hookbait or building a broader spod pattern, there’s plenty of scope here.
What you’re buying
A coated krill pellet with more going on
The Krill Pellets are fishmeal-based pellets with a high level of pure krill meal. Their two-stage coating is the key feature: one outer layer releases particles that rise and fall through the water column, while the second creates a deep-orange cloud that hangs around the lake bed.
That gives you attraction at two levels of the swim. The 2.3mm, 4mm and 6mm sizes also make them adaptable, from neat PVA bags and fine groundbait work through to spod mixes and more obvious loose feed.
Worth knowing. The coating is designed to release attraction continuously underwater, so the pellets are intended to keep working after they’ve landed rather than simply becoming static feed.
On the bank
A useful tool for loads of approaches
These pellets suit carp anglers who like a krill or fishmeal-based approach and want one bait that can cover several jobs. Use a small PVA bag beside a single hookbait, blend the smaller size into groundbait or build a spod mix with 4mm and 6mm pellets.
They’re a natural partner for The Krill boilies. You can fish a matching hookbait over them, or use the pellets as a supporting feed when you want to keep the overall food signal consistent. Around the margins, a small handful can create a tidy patch without going overboard.
Worth knowing. For a method feeder, add liquid and mould the pellets around the feeder. Aim for a mix that holds together for the cast but breaks down once it reaches the lake bed.
Quick answers
The useful stuff before you buy
The 2.3mm pellets are the neatest choice for fine mixes and compact bags. The 4mm size is the best general-purpose option, while 6mm suits anglers who want a more substantial pellet in a spod or loose-feed approach.
You can use the pellets on their own, but they make particular sense alongside The Krill boilies. The matching profile lets you build a consistent baited area without adding loads of different flavours and food signals.
Worth knowing. Start tight and build up. A small PVA bag or modest handful around the hookbait is often enough to find out whether the fish are up for a krill-based feed before you reach for the spod.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Strong krill and fishmeal profile for carp that are happy eating marine-style food.
- Two-stage coating gives you rising particles and a deep-orange cloud around the bottom bait.
- Three pellet sizes make it easy to tailor the mix to PVA, groundbait, spod or method feeder work.
- Works neatly alongside The Krill boilies and other krill-based hookbaits.
Worth knowing
- The stronger marine profile won’t suit every water or every angler’s baiting approach.
- Using several sizes together can add a bit of faff if you’re trying to keep a very tight, simple mix.
- The 900g bag is handy for shorter sessions, but regular spodders will get through it quickly.

The stuff you’d ask your mate on the next peg. Straight answers, no waffle.
01Which size of The Krill Pellets should I use?
Which size of The Krill Pellets should I use?
The 2.3mm size is useful in fine groundbait mixes and for creating a dense, smaller particle spread. The 4mm is a good middle ground for general-purpose work, while 6mm gives you a more obvious pellet option for spod mixes or feeding where you want individual pieces to stand out.
02Can I use The Krill Pellets in a method feeder?
Can I use The Krill Pellets in a method feeder?
Yes. Mix them with liquid so they bind together, then mould the mix around the method feeder. Keep the mix firm enough for the cast but not so sticky that it refuses to break down once it lands.
03Do they work with PVA bags?
Do they work with PVA bags?
Yes, they’re suitable for PVA bags. A small bag of pellets alongside your hookbait is a tidy way to put a concentrated patch of attraction right by the rig, especially when you don’t want to introduce loads of loose feed.
