I was asked to look at the smaller pellets fir match fishing so I order small and medium pellets, the smell is the unmistakable elips pellets we all no well for barbel. But would they would for commercial carp ?? Of course with them being a higher oil pellets soaking the small pellets would need to be though about properly so I soaked them for 2 mins and drained the water off and popped them in the fridge over night the next day they were perfect they slightly puffed up to around 3mm and soaked all the way though and didn't break down like most oily pellets would I dare say you could even hook these for winter skimmer as well they didn't disappoint either the aroma of elips leaked out and they really did work with fish being draw straight into my medium pellet hook bait which I would say is about 7mm I could many carp using this tactic helping me place 3rd with 169lb
