I wouldn't use it, same with foam, you see people using that cheep foam saying it's just the same, it's not imo. Solar foam the best iv ever used, I guess it's the same for funnel Web pva.

Sorry but that's simply not true. Years ago I reeled in a pva stick completely intact after over an hour. Last time I use cheap unbranded pva

How long had the stick been made,was there any olis in it.There can be things that really slow the breakdown time of pva.

I see you've been unbanned 😂 castaway. ESP and Korda all fine for me only one I had problems with was EAP - there hex mesh is awful and I wish I'd listen to a mate whose used there micromesh before ordering ( also poor quality ).

I tend to use esp from March to September and Korda hex in the cold months but castaway is decent also

I use carpcraze pva, can't fault it. As for nuggets I've honestly stopped using them all together. When I did use them the bag they were kept in was a bit crushed and the nuggets a bit flattened, this lengthened the already long breakdown time and I think these were either fox or Gardner.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
