Korda Solidz PVA Solid Bag Leaders KPVALL

Product Information

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. I prefer using dry baits because anything mildly wet will accelerate the dissolve speed of your PVA bag, which means you may not be fishing efficiently!

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. PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) bags are designed to be water-soluble and biodegradable. When they dissolve in water, they typically break down into harmless compounds. Thus, in the context of their intended use for fishing bait presentations, PVA bags should not pollute the water. I feel the bag is most successful in a couple of situations; firstly, at those times when the fish are up for a feed but are not necessarily feeding hard on bait. These times may be when the water temperatures are low, or the pressure is high, whereby a well-placed solid bag can trip up a half-hearted feeding fish when a baiting approach may work against you. They have recommend tying a figure-of-eight loop in the end of your main line to allow for rapid changing of setups. 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.Another situation where I have found solid bags particularly good is when fishing for small numbers of carp, where the numbers present are simply not enough to get them competing. In this situation, setting a trap on a feeding spot or a patrol route the fish are using regularly is more than enough to tempt a fish to drop down for a feed. 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! 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. Always remember that fishing requires a blend of knowledge, observation, and intuition. While these are guidelines, each angling situation can be unique, so be prepared to adjust your tactics based on conditions and results. How long does PVA Mesh take to dissolve?

Bream and Tench: These fish sift through the substrate for food and are likely to be attracted to the dense baiting zones created by PVA bags. Groundbait: This PVA bag mix of crushed ingredients like breadcrumbs, fishmeal, and various attractants offer a powdery and loose consistency, groundbait is best suited for PVA bags, which can hold the mix together and allow for a neat, compact presentation.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.

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. Thanks to a spliced loop, they can be simply looped on and off your main line, which means that you can tie several in preparation for hauling and loop a new one on in an instant! 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. Every bait has its unique texture, size, and consistency. Thus, not all of them are universally suited for both PVA bags and meshes. Let's delve into some popular bait choices and determine which of the two PVA products they pair best with:These readymade leadcore leaders have been designed for speedy fishing – allowing you to take advantage of what might be short feeding windows! 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. 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. 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. 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.Each of the versions come in two different diameters, 5 and 5.75mm, to ensure a neat fit in most inline leads on the market – they really have thought of everything! The entire setup is built to be extremely robust, with a 45lb breaking strain, and by utilising flexible fluorocarbon instead of wire, this can bend and flex without weakening. Furthermore, avoiding the use of wires improves fish safety. All in all they are a fantastic little product that will be a must for solid-bag advocates! 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. Storage Solutions: One of the key factors that determine the longevity and effectiveness of your PVA products is how they're stored. 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. So how should your put together solid bag rig? Well, like other popular carp rigs– there are many ways to do this. Below, we begin breaking up the different sections of a solid bag – then we’ll move on to making them! Solid Bag Leaders
