Korda Solidz PVA Solid Bag Leaders KPVALL

Product Information

Observations: Watch for signs of fish activity around your baited area. If there's no activity after a reasonable amount of time, consider recasting. 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. 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. Tie a standard hair rig with your chosen hook and length of hooklink material (like braid, fluorocarbon, or monofilament). All you need to do is attached your solid bag stems to your rig, place them into a solid bag, and store them somewhere dry until you need them. I usually keep 3 or 4 pre-tied in my tub of pellet mix.

Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit. 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 aim is to create a small patch of bait strategically around your hook bait to attract carp to feed, increasing the chances of a bite!A key question is how long should your PVA bag rig be? Well, you can use most ‘standard’ PVA solid bag sizes for the majority of angling situations. Each Gemini Leader is produced using 100% Fluorocarbon, our leaders are not plastic coated. The fluorocarbon material we use has a light refractive index of 1.42 (very similar to water), making them near invisible underwater. Gemini has really thought things out and included a couple of additional extras too, including a stainless steel wire tool for mounting the connector on to your tubing, as well as a silicone line stop that is pushed on to your main line to stop the tubing from sliding off as you tie on a new bag! The extremely dense nature of Fluorocarbon material used ensures these leaders sink very fast and keep everything pinned down on the lake bed.

Boilies: These are hard, round baits typically made from a mix of cereals, fish meals, and flavourings. Given their solid nature, boilies are versatile. They can be used with both PVA solid bags and mesh, but many anglers prefer to use PVA bags when introducing a small number of boilies directly around their hookbait. Loans available to permanent UK residents aged 18 and over. Subject to status. Eligibility and conditions apply. Predatory species: Pike or perch are enticed by movement and may respond more favourably to a PVA mesh presentation filled with wriggling maggots or worms. Environmental Impact: While PVA itself is considered biodegradable and should not contribute to long-term pollution, the broader environmental impact depends on the additives and other materials that might be present in specific PVA products. It's always a good practice for anglers to choose products that are confirmed to be environmentally friendly. This is because when the PVA bag dissolves it can put quite a bit of strain on your fishing line– especially if there are multiple fish feeding on your patch of bait.

How Does PVA work for fishing?

Particles: Such as maize, hemp, or tiger nuts. However, ensure they are thoroughly soaked and prepared to be safe for the carp. 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. Your rig is placed inside the solid bag, with the aim that once cast into the lake and settled on the bottom – the solid bag will dissolve releasing your rig, hook bait, and dry feed. 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.

A solid bag rig is a type of carp fishing rig that can be used to catch carp. It consists of a solid PVA bag filled with dry feed bait such as pellets, breadcrumb, chopped boilies, and additives such as salt. These readymade leadcore leaders have been designed for speedy fishing – allowing you to take advantage of what might be short feeding windows!

On average, if you're not getting bites or seeing activity after about 30 minutes to an hour, it might be worth recasting. However, this is a general guideline and can vary based on the specific conditions and environment.
