Solid PVA bags are a great technique to use to make sure that your rig is perfectly presented every time. The method is cost effective because you don’t need much bait to be successful. They can be used all year round but I tend to use them most in the winter.

Lead in the Bottom of the bag….i don't think so. You need some distance from bait and lead and my opinion ain't budging.
Would you add a shock leader?
Brilliant and informative as always Matt
Great vid on pva pags , have you tryd pva bag stems
💯
13:12 хвосты надо обрезать, а не накручивать!!!
Pulsar c50
So it was just another video on how to tie a pva bag
i was looking at using this kind of rig at my local, but they do not allow braid of any kind even on hooklink, any recccomandations to replace the armourlink?
Hi Matt, just come across your channel. I’ve just got back into carp fishing, previously I always used rig tubing as opposed to any sort of leadcore leader. I wanted to try this exact setup but am a bit confused as to the safety of the rig after reading some horror stories regarding fish and leaders.
You have an amazing way of making a straightforward rig really awkward as with the slip D at the start. I’ve never lost a fish, mostly big ones by using supernatural, wide gape and a small kicker or maybe a “normal slip D” … you must have lots of spare time at your lake mate thinking, “hmm, how can I make a simple rig look trickier” … the loop in the line? What’s wrong with a super strong figure of 8 loop? Seems very excessive to me
Do PVA bags work on rivers? How long does it take for them to break?
Thanks
I dont put the weight in the bag or use tape. Just put the rig in the bag and leave the end you connect to your mainline, fill the bag but leave a gap at the top, snip down the centre line of the bag and twist, lick and stick the tags to either side if the bag. Never had a bag come off, even when whacking it out as far as I can. If you tie a loop in the rig and attach to a hook swivel and cover the swivel hook with a re-usable sheaf you dont have to put shrink tube on the join.
Love ur fishing tips Matthew
Have done ok on running rigs but I seem to lack confidence in them when our lake is covered in silk weed that’s sank to bottom due to presentation
Would you still use running rigs in this situation
Great video as always, can i use floss instead of mono to attatch the bait? I assume so?
lol a life vest?
All these videos tell you different ways to load a bag – all work, just do whatever your comfortable with.
Hi Matthew, have you tried fishing solid bags with pure running rigs? What’s your thoughts on this?
Hey Matt great vid so I have just got back into fishing after 16years and tend to use mesh instead of bags what would you recommend and would you be able to do a vid about the pros and cons of both mesh and bag please sorry if you have already done this
Hi Matt, I have copied this lead setup with the leader, insert and inline lead. However, the fox inline leads i am using have a larger bore than the insert so seem to be a looser fit than the what is shown in the video. My set up is more a running rig than semi fixed. Please can you let me know what leads you are using in the setup. Thanks, Mike
Hey Matt is 2oz lead will do the job for my 3.0lb rod ? Solid bag rig and solid bag setup
Do you ever use mono in pva bags?
I only catch bream when using bags 🥲
Talk about over thinking.
For my canal fishing i use a Ronnie rig in a bag tied to soft hook length material or Nash trigger link
With a 2.5/3oz in line and drop it in the edge,bear in mind my pva bag is massive(big as my hand) carry’s a lot of food and liquids and I also cover bag in liquid just to get attraction down on the bottom.
Just drop it in the edge further down canal and chuck a load of bait on top I’ve had fish to 32lb out of my local canal
What boilie mix?
Wonder what I'd have to do to make this work with canned corn.
Great video, thank you.
Could you use a small quick change swivel, as opposed to loop to loop, to join the mainline and leader?
fish mine in a bushwhacker, just cover the bag in oil to stop any splash melting also i find injecting the liquids works better. nice little video mate.
Merica here. Wtf?
Would a figure of 8 loop knot work for tying the leader onto mainline?
Bag looks like Tiramissu
