Pva bags

[ben lee]

Looking at useing them for the first time tomorrow.
Can someone give a a rundown on how to use them please.

How do i use sweetcorn and groundbait in them?

Do i put the rig inside?

[leelee]

you have to use pva friendly corn or let it dry out a bit dont make your ground bait to wet or use oils you can put your rig inside or hook it just under the knot hpoe this helps and good luck p.s make sure you get as much air out of the bag as poss i use the web type

[leelee]

sorry its a bit unclear dont make your ground bait to wet or you could use oils or boosters or such like they dont melt the pva

i just ordered some off ebay gunna be my first time using them aswell !

Would useing a small bag and 2oz weight be ok to cast on a carp rod with a 2.75tc?

[leelee]

should be fine but you might want to use a shock leader for big chucks

The 1s i used worked very well hooked them under the knot.

When i used sweetcorn i dryed it with ground bait worked well.


What are shakespeare pva bags like?

[leelee]

i dont use a lot of the bags i go for the stocking type i find them easier to use but i would think most of the top brands are pretty much the same try mo,s pva he is online he was on ebay not sure if he still is he sells millions of the things

when you go to your tackle shop just ask for pva friendly corn and use oily bait, trout pellets are a good option dont want to much water in your groundbait either and try to get it as compact as possible when tying your bag up then all you have to do is hook it under the knot you tied and cast out.
