If so I use them and they are amazing! I use the mould also.

 

For Carp I use Corn/Meat on the hook. For the feeder I get some 3mm pellets, chuck them in a bait box and add boiling water (Until they are just covered) then leave with the lid on for about 1-2 hours. I sometimes add a dash of Scopex to them also.

 

You then get a really nice paste which is perfect for the method feeder.

 

I have used Groundbait with it also which works really well. I normally make it a little wetter than usual so it holds the hook-bait better.

I am glad you got the feeders, they are fantastic!

 

I use the fisheries own pellets. They are about 3mm in length and come in good sized bags for £2. Unfortunately they are practically impossible to hook so I either use them as paste, or to get a nice carpet of bait down.

 

I have never used any specific brands of pellets from the shelf. I did today go to purchase some from the tackle shop but my fishery got some more bags in so I stuck with those instead.

 

These look the closest to the ones I use:
