PVA (Polyvinyl
Alcohol) bags come in many different shape and sizes for different
fishing applications.
PVA is a water
soluble film that breaks down in water, leaving no residue.
The rate at which
PVA bags breakdown varies according to several different factors, the
main one being water temperature.
In the cold waters of winter,
breakdown times are much longer than the breakdown times in the summer,
where water temperatures are much, much warmer.
Remember PVA bags
and other PVA products, are an invaluable, additional tool in the carp
anglers armory, and there use opens up various different fishing
options, otherwise unavailable to the angler.
PVA bags ensure your
hookbait is always surrounded by your chosen free bait offerings, this
creates a small feast for the intended quarry, this method has proven
far more successful than the more ‘hit & miss, single hookbait in the
middle of nowhere’ approach.
We will take the 3
different designs of PVA bags available in our store as examples, and
try to describe their various uses, and show you how to use them.
