PVA RIG MADE EASY<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>One of my favourite methods of carp fishing is using PVA bags. It can be an absolutely deadly method of catching carp, because it presents a bed of bait you choose to use, with your hook bait disguised in amongst it. The rig can be cast a long distance when assembled correctly, this<\/span><\/p>\n

presentation is something a carp is not used to in that location.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I first heard about PVA I thought my partner was having a joke, so I started to find out more about this item. PVA stands for (Polyvinyl Alcohol) which melt when wet. The first time I tried to reach a long distance with a PVA bag it didn\u2019t stand up to the job and I wasn\u2019t confident with the overall result. So I decided to make a rig which would cast and not get tangled when it hits the bottom of the lake.<\/span><\/p>\n

When using this method I always use boiles that I have previously crushed into a fine mix using a food mixer. I find this is easy to put in to a PVA bag with some boiles chopped in half. I also prefer to vary other ingredients mixed in the PVA sometimes including maggots or hemp. In fact any bait you like, I used Quest Rahja spice for this as it\u2019s a good all round bait throughout the year.<\/p>\n
