colsoop Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Theyw ere talking about these a few years ago. Bait -weighted pva bags get you the distance just as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazla Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Theyw ere talking about these a few years ago. Bait -weighted pva bags get you the distance just as good bait weighted pva bags are only used to leave a pile of bait around the hook. if there was no weight attached to the line then the fish wouldnt hook its self. Besides you cant get good distance with casting a pva bag on your line, its not very aerodynamic;) The idea is that this is in place of the big black lead weight that fish recognise. Once the fish see the lead weight and the hook link they spook. Also they are environmental friendly:D The idea is you can catch more bigger and cautious fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been for a few years but i would be interested to see how you get on with them. What particular rig were you planning on using them with ?

JonW Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I do a bit of carp fishing. They look good, I have some that look like stones also. These seem to work well with a free running rig. The clear ones would be good for barbel as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been for a few years but i would be interested to see how you get on with them. What particular rig were you planning on using them with ? I know what your saying but thats the hole idea. large weights are used for bolt or running rigs. Once the fish suck in the bait and the hook also, the weight is detected by the fish causing it to bolt off and hook its self on the heavy lead. This causes the fish to run and the fish to stay hooked. I do a bit of carp fishing. They look good, I have some that look like stones also. These seem to work well with a free running rig. The clear ones would be good for barbel as well. I have the stone ones to. They're not bad for the rivers like you say, very good for barbel on the river ribble. I've had some crackers out of there.
