How To: Using small PVA bags |
HOW TO: Use small solid PVA bags
Solid PVA bags, unlike PVA mesh, have no holes in them. This makes them ideal for transporting liquid attractant into your swim. Setting up a solid PVA bags is relatively simple and requires a few simple steps to get the best bag set ups. It is important the bag is tied really tight, this will make the PVA bag cast well and will ensure the bag does not burst on impact with the lake after the cast.
In this article I will demonstrate how to effectively tie a small solid PVA bag. See my other article on tieing large solid PVA bags here »
What you need
 A good quality PVA product makes tieing tight bags a lot easier. We are using PVA from The Fishing Bag Company for this feature.
Method
Step 1
 Start by nicking your hook into the bottom corner of the bag. This bag is large enough to insert the lead in the bag with the baited hook and pellets.
Step 2
 As you start to fill the bag with pellets try and lay the hook length across the bottom of the bag as you fill. A soft un-skinned braided hook length is usually best to use then PVA bag fishing.
Step 3
 As you fill with pellets keep layering your rig until you have about 3/4" (75mm) of bag left. Now twist the top of the bag until making the bag really tight.
Step 4
 Now with a tight bag, using PVA string tie two overhand knots to lock the bag in place.
Step 5
 Cut off the excess PVA bag and string above the knot to make the bag tidy.
Step 6
 Manipulate the bag to get the pellets to settle. When you have a small amount of slack in the bag pull the bottom corner tag of the bag out and wet with a little saliva. Now pull tightly and stick the corner to the bag. Repeat this process with the remaining corner.
Step 7
 Make sure the bag is tight so that it casts well and does not come off the hook length during the cast.
Step 8
 With the bag finished all that is left to do is cast out into the lake. Make sure your line, rod and reel are all up to casting what can be a heavy bag. Ensure your reel's clutch is tight to avoid line slip during the cast. This set up will work with side clip systems as well but you may need to tie the side clip shut with PVA string to prevent the lead coming off as the lead and bag set up hits the lake surface.
Tight lines!
