Ordered this tail end of last month with some extra bags and have been waiting for it to arrive.
Thought i would chivy them up to see where my order was to be told that they cant get hold of them and think Fox have discontinued the line,which would be a travesty.

Does anybody know if this is true or not?

Mark Pitcher was showing how to use them on his latest PVA bag fishing thing so I would think unlikely. I don't use bags that much but when I do I use the Fox one's, great idea.

Used them from the initial point of Sale Orange packaging and I've more than happy with the results usually 50 bags a year. I have around 100 PVA bags in my kit bag.


Not had an issue with breakages

Different strokes for different blokes ... I gave them a good go but found the system inferior.

Nash done a bag loader in a piece of plastic that was moulded into a cylinder with the split in it almost 20yrs ago. Make your own with a piece of thin plastic sheet that can be rolled in to a tube, placed into neck of any bag to hold it open. As long as it has a split in it, it can be taken off the line easily as well. Used to do this all the time with the Nash one & long Kryston Meltex bags.

I made one from a washing up liquid bottle make sure you radius and smooth the corners so they don't split the bag. Works perfectly.

Don't get me wrong, we all like free delivery. £6.99 for delivery does sound a lot, the company I work for doesn't offer free delivery regardless of order size. They say the cost and time is more than you think. The order is received and processed, checked for stock location, picked, packed (including packaging) and booked for shipping plus the cost of the shipping. If you order something for say £10 it will cost more than it's worth to do all that for free. Just putting it out there lol

I looked into Foxes website and saw the postage was £6.99 and i didn't want to buy 5 seasons worth of pva just to get free postage. So the Search continues.

I would imagine if a recent YouTube video is showing him using them, they have most likley just sold out of them as people watching might want to emulate. I remember when one of the Korda videos showed the Ronnie/Spinner rig using their new Boom and the Crimps sold out everywhere.

I have large hands and banana fingers and now sadly losing the dexterity in my hands so not having to struggle tying bags these are a godsend apart from the taste Im waiting for a tackle manufacturer to flavour them so it tastes of pineapple when I lick em
