Product Information
Full details
The Mainline Activated Halibut Pellets are designed for dedicated anglers looking to target specimen fish by utilizing a high-protein, oil-rich food source. These pellets are ideal for building a scent trail in the water, though their high oil content means they should be used strategically during colder water temperatures when fish metabolism slows down.

FAQs
Can these pellets be used in PVA bags?
Yes, they are suitable for use in PVA bags to create a localized patch of high-attraction feed.
What is the best way to store these once opened?
Keep them in the provided resealable bag, ensuring all air is pushed out before sealing, and store in a cool, dark place.
Are these pellets suitable for winter fishing?
While they are effective year-round, be mindful that high-oil pellets can be less soluble in very cold water; consider using smaller quantities in winter.
Can I mix these with other bait types?
Absolutely, they complement boilies, particles, and groundbait exceptionally well.
What is the primary benefit of the 'activated' formulation?
The activation refers to the enhanced leakage properties that allow the fishmeal and oils to disperse rapidly through the water column.
Troubleshooting
Pellets breaking down too quickly
Ensure they are not being soaked in high-water content liquids; use oil-based glugs to preserve the pellet integrity.
Pellets feeling soft or oily in the bag
This is normal due to the high fish oil content, but keep the bag tightly sealed to prevent further oxidation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your pellets, ensure they are kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The resealable bag is effective, but if you have a damp environment, consider an airtight container. These pellets can be used directly in PVA bags for a concentrated boost, or mixed into groundbait and spod mixes. If you are targeting a specific size of fish, ensure you are using the correct diameter, such as pairing the 8mm pellets with a matching hookbait.
