Korda Solidz PVA Solid Bag Leaders KPVALL

Product Information

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

If you are yet to use a solid bag, you should certainly give them a try – in the right situation, at the right time, they can be an extremely successful tactic and a fooler of even the wariest carp. When using PVA mesh, one of the best rigs for PVA bags and mesh is the hair rig. Here's a basic outline: 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.Years ago I started tying my bags or mesh to the hooklink swivel or above the lead, but Gardner and other brands now make PVA bag swivels or clips. It's easy enough to tie a bag on and hook the outside corner, so you can have ready prepared bags or mesh.

These readymade leadcore leaders have been designed for speedy fishing – allowing you to take advantage of what might be short feeding windows! 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.

Powders and small pellets form the basis of my mix and I prefer to keep these items dry when adding to the solid bag, as they react naturally once the bag has melted, delivering particles into the column for added attraction. When casting out, ensure that the PVA mesh doesn't impact the water too forcefully, as this can cause the bait to disperse prematurely. On average, in moderate water temperatures, PVA mesh might take anywhere from a couple of minutes to about 20 minutes to fully dissolve. It's always a good idea to test the specific mesh you're using in the water conditions you're fishing in to get an accurate dissolution time.

Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit. 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 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.Finding fish will always be the number one tip to catching carp, however, setting up your solid bag rig to give you the best chance is key for this method of fishing. After casting, you'll want to wait until the bag is fully dissolved before expecting a bite. As for how long you should leave your baited rig out after the bag has dissolved. If you haven't had any action in 30 minutes to an hour, or if you believe the bait has been consumed or dispersed, it may be time to recast. Navigating the intricacies of PVA products can be daunting for both novice and seasoned anglers. However, with a little knowledge and some practical insights, you can elevate your bait presentation game. Here are some tips to get the most out of your PVA bags and mesh:

So, when is the solid bag an effective tactic? There has always been a time and a place for the solid in my angling and when I feel the time arises, the necessary items that are needed to construct a bag and suitable rig are to hand.The extremely dense nature of Fluorocarbon material used ensures these leaders sink very fast and keep everything pinned down on the lake bed. 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. So what type of situations lend themselves to use of a solid bag? They are pretty versatile, but because the hook link is within the confines of a parcel, they are particularly suitable for fishing spots whereby an exposed conventional rig would encounter issues. In circumstances where you are faced with obstacles that may hinder or even obstruct a conventional rig, such as lily pads, casting to overhanging trees and fishing to a canopy of weed, the solid bag can be an excellent tool at getting a hook bait and small patch of bait presented effectively. They are produced within the UK and deliver a vast array of benefits that will help you to put more fish on the bank. 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.
