They look like Liquidus bags,they are the best bags I have ever used.I like how they feel sort of rubbery and you can get them tighter than a gnats chuff

I always thought that putting a PVA nugget in a bag was a daft idea, but have to admit watching the video of you chucking one in a bucket a while back got me thinking.
How many did you test and did they all drop back down so perfectly with the nugget coming loose?

I tried about 2 dozen different ways of attaching the hook to the nugget to try and perfect how the nugget detached from the hook, and then once I found what I thought worked, I trialled that another half a dozen times and it worked perfectly on each test. I have used that method now for a few years and over 99% of the time, the nugget surfaces after about 45-50 seconds and you know that the presentation is spot on.
Personally I wouldn't fish any other way.

The bag material feels dry initially then after adding a bit of pellet or crumb it does go rubbery so I leave them standing for a good 30 minutes before tying them up that way they don't slacken up afterward and they stay tight. I have used loads of bags over the years and these cheap ones from China are really good.

Found it
Was the water at normal summer temperature.
I ordered 200 of the 7 x 10 bags, but then changed to the 7 x 14 to give me a bit extra when tying up. I like to knot with pva rather than lick and twist.

The bucket tests I did used tap water which was probably colder than summer lake water but notwithstanding, I dont think it makes much difference to the dissolve rate of the PVA. I always use a piece of PVA tape to tie my bags off, you can buy 3 x 20m NGT rolls of it for about a fiver that will last ages.
Those 7x14 bags are brilliant, I'm embarrassed at how many I've bought of these this year but you never know if the supply will run out do you.

I bought a load of these in the 7 x 14 size.
I used them over the last couple of days.
I found them a little narrow to fill easily. The 70mm is the external measurement and doesn't take into account the 5mm+ edges, so maybe only 60mm wide!
they seem OK out of the bag but once filled and you try to fold the corners in and add a dab of saliva they go very soft and I had a couple start to melt.
Its not a problem I have had previously so not user error.

I ordered some of these after seeing your post and they cancelled the order saying that the delivery company had damaged them and were unable to deliver them.

I guess it depends on what you are used to using. I must have used 300 plus in that size last year and they were superb for me. I lick the seams and stick those down plus the corners and tie them off with pva tape. I find if you put any kind of boilie mix in them they go quite rubbery so I leave them 30 minutes before tieing those off.
As for the post I cant really comment. I must have bought 1,500 of these from that same supplier and they haven't missed a beat.
If he shows more stock then I'd have another go.
