Only tried using PVA bags a few times with a pop up on a Ronnie rig with no success. I think the PVA bag might hinder the mechanics and presentation of the Ronnie rig. Anyone had any success using this method?
What rig works best in PVA bags?

Something with a bottom bait imo. Why would you want the contents of the bag on the deck, and your hookbait floating around a couple of inches above it? A bottom bait will sit nicely in the pile of food from the bag . Simple, short knotless knot rig will be fine . No need to get fancy with rigs

What type of line works best for the hair? Do you think 11mm pellets are too big for PVA bags

The hair is made from the tag end of the knotless knot . You can put whatever you want in the bag, as long as any liquid is pva friendly. Just make sure that if you do use large pellets etc then use some powder to fill any gaps to remove air from the bag or it will float

Yes as Ian said a bottom bait or small wafter, if you really want to use a pop up then it ideally wants to be very low, so a multirig or a kd rig with a shot between the hook and the bait

I've always used 10mm hi vis pop ups with a small shot under to create a wafter with a size 6-8 hook on a knotless knot or blowback using esp sink link. Had a bunch of fish with that setup

So the knotless knot is made from the hooklink? What do you use for that. At the moment I only have esp synchro XT and stiff boom.

A short length of supple braid is what most people use. The bag is usually filled with small items such as pellets or boilie crumb. Small. Hookbait so it doesn't look massive compared to the rest of the bag contents.

Do a quick YouTube search on “carp pva bag”. Quite a few different videos showing all the components used including the braid for the hook length. Everything from Nash, Korda ESP and more.

Yes it is. A coated braid will be the thing to buy as you can use it for all-sorts of rigs. Thinking anglers tungskin is the best on the market imo

What type of rig is he using in that video. Just a simple knotless knot rig with a short coated braid hooklink?
Interesting that he uses fake corn pop up. Not sure about that

Would you guys recommend an inline lead like Kev Hewitt uses. Or is that not needed when there's no weed?
