Esp for me for mesh and Korda for solid bags. Never found anything better then these two and have tried a huge amount.

I find that a lot of PVA leaves a really nasty taste in your mouth then they melt

Also use the Gardner slow melt solid bags for when I'm fishing in Thailand.

I won a match and got a huge load of castaway PVA. Took me 3 years to get through but I was really impressed with it

Slightly unrelated to the topic in a way, but does anyone mass tie PVA mesh baits? Does it have an effect on the PVA over time? Or does it still tend to dissolve the same

Will depend on how much oil is in the pellets you use

I typically use crushed boilies etc but I guess the same applies

I do enough to get going , then do the rest as I go. I can do them so quickly now, it's not worth them going saggy by doing a load, imho.

Per other comments it depends on the pellets. In the winter I tend to use low oil Coppens pellets from the pet shop and I make a load of these up before each session. In the summer I use much oilier pellets so tend to make them up on the bank as otherwise the oil sinks into the mesh and impacts the dissolve rate, I also find it causes the mesh to tighten significantly, which can be a good thing but will then rip if left for too long (I've made a bait box full of them in the past and forgot about them for a few months)

Any idea which carrier Carp Craze use?
I ordered last week, the tracking details offer nothing besides 'on its way'.
Not particularly impressed , kinda expect something more for the Godiva delivery charge that Shopify chucks on at the basket.

cheers, arrived about half an hour after I posted, the mailman had passed the house at 11am so I figured delivery was going to remain a mystery.
Typical, stalked the postie for a different delivery which didn't turn up and the PVA arrived when I was in the shed rolling some bait. The neighbour had taken it in.

I'd emailed CC for details and got no reply

RE**Always got mine off a guy on ebay, but can't remember the name of the seller. Can't see him on ebay either at the mo, so he's either stopped selling or has no listings on there at the mo.

All I can remember is that he was from Stoke and his listings were usually done by bidding (as opposed to Buy It Now). But it was decent stuff and really cheap. **


interesting, i get mine from a well known seller on ebay but he has now jacked his prices up, so if ya seller makes an appearance, pls do post a link or the name TIA!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
