Tested: CC Moore Elips Pellets - 12/07/2010

Oli says: Elips have long been a favourite with barbel anglers, the elliptical shape giving them their name and preventing them from being swept away in flowing water. The high oil and protein content makes them highly attractive to barbel and carp alike.

What is often overlooked by us carp anglers is that the shape makes them behave differently from normal pellets in still water. Chuck a handful in the edge and watch as they flutter down through the water. When disturbed by feeding carp they waft about enticingly, offering the angler an alternative presentation when fishing for wary or pressured carp. These are perfect for stalking and I will definitely be keeping a bag handy.
