MY Dad won yesterdays open with 130lb plus. 17 carp on small PVA bags and hair rigged meat. There were a couple of other ton plus weights with the seventy's being the in form area.

What did he have in the pva bags Steve or is that a secret

[royst]

good weights for January

Micro pellets ridgeacre, wetted down the night before.

Does wetting down the pellets cause any problems with the PVA bags breaking down.

The reason i ask is becausei have considered using them on our local canal in the summer to get casters though the small fish.

Use a bait dropper Woodhouse

Use a bait dropper Woodhouse

No boats so the canal is very silty hence the dropper either goes straight into the silt or does not open.

To put casters in a PVA bag they would have to be fairly dry if im honest, as if they were wet then the bag would disolve.

What make of PVA bags do you guys use Steve?

Looks like i'll have to carry on cupping them then.

Its OK loosefeeding but you dont know how many are actually getting to the bottom due to roach and rudd taking on the drop.

I dont actually use bags its just a term really. I use the Korda boilie funnel web which is like a stocking mesh. Disloves much quicker than the actual bags seem to.

Any chance of a butchers at the rig Steve

Strange idea to build a canal where there are no boats

Woody1, it was in angling times a couple of weeks ago if you can get a copy. Its a really simple running rig to be honest. But very effective never the less.
