The Avid Carp Solid PVA Bag Loading Kit has been put together with quick and convenient solid PVA bag construction in mind. The kit is supplied with 20 transfer solid PVA bags, 10m transfer PVA tape and an Avid bag loader.

Solid PVA bags are generally fished with very little or no solid food items in the bag, a small hookbait and a short hooklink with an inline lead.

Step 1.

Squezze the bag loader and insert into the PVA bag.

Step 2.

Now drop your baited rig and lead into the bag and hook your tubing/leader into the V groove to hold the lead in place.

Step 2.

Slowly fill the bag up with your chosen mix until the bag is half full, then unhook your leader and lower the lead on top of the mix.

Step 3.

Then top the bag up so the lead is just covered in bag mix before removing the bag loader and compressing the mix with your fingers.

Step 4.

Once the bag mix is packed down, twist the top of the bag , wrap some pva tape around it and tie a couple of granny knots to secure it all. Make sure the bag is tight and compact, it will cast further and more accurately.

Step 5.

Now trim all the excess PVA away above the knot, leaving a few millimetres as a buffer for casting to ensure the bag doesn’t come undone.

Step 6.

Pinch the bottom corners of the bag before licking and sticking them down to create nice round aerodynamic edges.

Your bag is now complete and ready to cast out. Give them a go.

On a recent session to Richworth Linear Fisheries I caught a 32lb 4oz Mirror and a 21lb Common. Both fish were landed using critically balanced Tiger nut hookbaits and Avid Carp Sight Stops over a spodded area of hemp, corn, chops, maggots, pellets and crushed tigers. The nuts were presented in Extra Small Korda Solidz PVA Bags with small micro pellets and groundbait and cast to a small clear area in the weed at about 70 yards.
