Does anyone buy PVA bags in bulk from somewhere similar to the Fox Rapide bags? I don't want the perforated bags as i prefer the smooth, supple unperforated bags without seams. Thanks.

How big mate do you want them
Advanta
Esp
Omc
Fox
Nash
They all do them I used to sell the bigger ones you can't cast far with them ideal for margins or on canals or underarm work

Thanks. I thought the Advanta ones were the rougher type material? As you suggest i use different sizes dependant on circumstances. I was just seeing if anyone has found a supplier that does the smooth unseamed bags without the carp tax

I used the fox rapide for a while but now use the cygnet ones as they are the perfect size for what I wanted, had to trim the fox ones down a bit.

have a look at bank tackle

I'm lazy, I get my PVA mesh and bags from a chap on my syndicate. Quick handover of cash for whatever I need.
He just happens to have his own website Terminal tackle and PVA link.
I've used and tested his PVA for a few years, and with the bags I lick and stick.
Taste wise there is a tang, but it is not particularly strong, bit like an onion ring dipped in vinegar. Compared to the Kodex, that is nice. Kodex are foul!
I've tested the bags and mesh in around 1metre of lake water, just off the margins, in winter, around 5⁰C, and the mesh melted in around 2 1/2 minutes.
Both were filled with a mix of chopped boilies and boilie crumb, dry ground Vitalin and dried ground breadcrumbs.

I stopped buying the popular branded PVA bags years ago.
I get mine from China like the rest of the major brands, but I use ebay. I have just picked up 600 for this season, and I think I paid about £38 delivered.

Just choose your size.

I just use the NGT pva tape about 3 20m rolls cost a fiver and last me ages and I probably make up a 100 bags for a 4/5 day session.

I found his PVA bags tasted foul compared to ESP and other bags I've tried, probably does not make any difference to the fish, but I certainly would not lick and stick them

Thanks RigDemon, that does make sense. Have you seen any with the smooth PVA as they all seem to have the patterned material which i've found just slightly stiffer. The Fox bags don't have the extended seams either. Are there any cheaper replicas of these that you've seen or am i being unrealistic?

I've licked and stuck hundreds of them and they have caught me more fish than I could ever remember. In terms of taste, it suddenly becomes sweeter for me knowing that I'm not lining the pockets of an existing tackle brand that's probably not short of a few bob.

I have used these bags for years. Don't get hung up on the seams just stick them down or reverse the bag inside out if they bother you. The value and performance of these bags is spot on.
Post edit: I use their 7x14 bags. I like these bad boys that much I've just bought another 400.
