Collection: PVA Products

PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer used in fishing to deliver bait precisely where needed without leaving any residue. Commonly formed into bags, mesh, or string, PVA products dissolve completely in water, releasing the bait attractively around your hook.

PVA bags are ideal for carp fishing as they allow anglers to present bait neatly and with precision. They help protect the bait during casting, ensure it lands intact, and then dissolve to leave a concentrated pile of attractants that can draw carp directly to your hook.

Yes, PVA products come in various forms including bags, mesh, string, and tape. Each type serves different purposes: bags and mesh are great for containing bait, while PVA string and tape are used to secure baits or make PVA 'sausages' - a method where bait is packed into a continuous tube of PVA mesh.

PVA dissolves quicker in warm water and slower in cold water. It’s important to consider water temperature when using PVA products, as very cold water may significantly delay the dissolution of PVA, affecting the release timing of your bait.

While PVA is compatible with a wide range of baits, oil-based or greasy baits can inhibit the dissolving process. It's best to use baits that are dry or have water-based attractants for optimal performance with PVA products.

Ensure your hands are dry when handling PVA products to prevent premature dissolving. Also, compacting your bait well within the PVA can help achieve a more aerodynamic shape for better casting accuracy.

Selecting the right size and type of PVA product depends on the fishing technique and the amount of bait you wish to deliver. Larger bags or mesh are better for bigger baits or when more attractants are needed, whereas smaller bags and string are suitable for precision baiting in targeted spots.
