Korda Solidz PVA Solid Bag Leaders KPVALL

Product Information

You’ll also want to use a leader material that is quite abrasion resistant. This will help to prevent the PVA from damaging your line as it dissolves. Fluorocarbon leaders are a good option, as they’re both strong and abrasion resistant. They are produced within the UK and deliver a vast array of benefits that will help you to put more fish on the bank. Every bait has its unique texture, size, and consistency. Thus, not all of them are universally suited for both PVA bags and meshes. Let's delve into some popular bait choices and determine which of the two PVA products they pair best with: With regards to the mix, it is important to keep all of the particles small, with nothing exceeding 3mm in size. This means that when the bag is full and compressed down, there are no gaps present. From the autumn until the spring I opt for a low- oil type mix, generally light in colour with food items that are soluble and digestible for the carp in the cold water. The only time this will change is during the summer months, when I will switch over to an oily, fishmeal-based mix, where the oils and attraction can disperse well in the warmer water.

Bait Combinations: PVA products offer a platform for experimentation. However, it's wise to have a basic understanding of which baits work best with each method. The PVA bag itself will dissolve in the water within a few minutes, depending on the water temperature and the type of PVA product used. Cold water can slow down the dissolving process, while warm water speeds it up. Another situation where I have found solid bags particularly good is when fishing for small numbers of carp, where the numbers present are simply not enough to get them competing. In this situation, setting a trap on a feeding spot or a patrol route the fish are using regularly is more than enough to tempt a fish to drop down for a feed.There are then the Tidy Stem Tubing Kits; these have a slightly longer fused loop, which is used to mount a ‘tubing to stem’ connector. As the name suggests, this seamlessly joins your tubing to the Tidy Stem, with no worries of the tubing pulling out and ruining your solid bag! Again these come with six stems, as well as three connectors and two metres of tungsten tubing for your three rods. Tie a standard hair rig with your chosen hook and length of hooklink material (like braid, fluorocarbon, or monofilament). Thanks to a spliced loop, they can be simply looped on and off your main line, which means that you can tie several in preparation for hauling and loop a new one on in an instant!

Observations: Watch for signs of fish activity around your baited area. If there's no activity after a reasonable amount of time, consider recasting.Predatory species: Pike or perch are enticed by movement and may respond more favourably to a PVA mesh presentation filled with wriggling maggots or worms. Environmental Impact: While PVA itself is considered biodegradable and should not contribute to long-term pollution, the broader environmental impact depends on the additives and other materials that might be present in specific PVA products. It's always a good practice for anglers to choose products that are confirmed to be environmentally friendly.

I prefer using dry baits because anything mildly wet will accelerate the dissolve speed of your PVA bag, which means you may not be fishing efficiently! When casting out, ensure that the PVA mesh doesn't impact the water too forcefully, as this can cause the bait to disperse prematurely. Boilies: These are hard, round baits typically made from a mix of cereals, fish meals, and flavourings. Given their solid nature, boilies are versatile. They can be used with both PVA solid bags and mesh, but many anglers prefer to use PVA bags when introducing a small number of boilies directly around their hookbait. As with other types of carp rig, you’ll need to start off with a leader. For solid bags, however, it’s often recommended that you use a slightly heavier leader than normal – something in the 15lb-20lb range.On average, if you're not getting bites or seeing activity after about 30 minutes to an hour, it might be worth recasting. However, this is a general guideline and can vary based on the specific conditions and environment. The aim is to create a small patch of bait strategically around your hook bait to attract carp to feed, increasing the chances of a bite! Bream and Tench: These fish sift through the substrate for food and are likely to be attracted to the dense baiting zones created by PVA bags.

Roach and Rudd: Fish species that feed in shoals, might be attracted to the scattered bait presentation offered by PVA mesh, as it imitates a more natural food dispersion. At the same time if I have caught a fish, I have faith in that rig and bait. It doesn't 'smell' like me, the fish have accepted it. The choice between PVA bait bags and PVA mesh isn't solely about the type of bait or water conditions; it's also intricately linked to the target fish species. Certain species exhibit preferences for the bait presentation, either due to their feeding habits or the environments they frequent. But what makes this tactic so good and are there times when another approach may be a better option? This feature takes a close look at my approach with solid bags, how I use them to great effect and constructing them from start to finish.

Particles: Such as maize, hemp, or tiger nuts. However, ensure they are thoroughly soaked and prepared to be safe for the carp. Consumer credit service provided by Klarna.

Your rig is placed inside the solid bag, with the aim that once cast into the lake and settled on the bottom – the solid bag will dissolve releasing your rig, hook bait, and dry feed.
