Tried this yesterday on a lake that has been hard to get bites on the last few years . I had 3 bites and and caught all three. The smallest was just under 16 pounds and the biggest just over 17 pounds. The best afternoon/evenings fishing on the lake for years !

Thank you Carl and Alex 👍

[@amusingfishing]

Your fishing is always very interesting, Wish to see much more like this. Thanks for sharing your information!

[@armylad681]

Always excited to see what you guys are up too 👌🏼

[@MrFlames1975]

I’ve been using PVA bags for a long time now and found that if you wanna use whole boilies you can use crushed boilie and smaller pellets to fill all the gaps in the bag so it doesn’t end up all baggy. Great video as usual gents.

[@arthureastham9790]

these are really cool. Would be really interested in a pike fishing equipment video. But these are still really coo, awesome job.

[@final3fan45]

I’m getting some pva bags this is very helpful thanks keep it up 👍

[@theohastings2118]

Brilliant video guys, great effort gone into this I can tell. I just have one question for you. I am looking into buying a new set of rods and my fishing is done up to about 70-90 yards with the odd cast over 100. Can I achieve these distances with a 12 ft rod of 3-3.25 lb test curve? Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@Mattys_Channel]

Great video lads I have been using small compact mesh bags

[@MartynsAnglingAdventures]

[@samstubbs2586]

Really helpful video. Would love a video about Boilies. Not 100% sure about frozen versus shelf life, fruity or fish meal... Cheers 👍🏻

[@The1stCommentsGuy]

Very informative video 👌

[@j99gr94]

Brilliant!

[@sevketornek]

Teşekkür ederim. Güzel bilgilendirici bir video olmuş. Eline sağlık. Rastgele ☺️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheMDOutdoors2016]

Awesome video and great tips for us carp anglers. My goal on my channel is to influence other USA fishing anglers that carp are not trash fish. They are nothing but power houses and fight pound for pound. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@dreammaker730]

I used the pva bag method over the weekend , first time carp fishing in six hours I had 2 bites , lost both of them . Considering no one else even had a bite I'm really impressed with this method . You make a really good point about putting the weight at the bottom and central in the bag . I didn't and had some proper wonky casts as a result.

[@fishingtutorials]

A bite is better than nothing! Hopefully you land them next time!!

[@ethanlockwood6985]

Nice video and nice fish lads

[@MartynsAnglingAdventures]

Solid bags. No.1 go To Tactic!

[@fishermanfranklin6674]

[@ivansever1835]

Hvala Vam 💪👍👍👍

[@JB-OH]

I'd like to see a "how to" video on how to catch chub and barbel from a river. But with granular detail, like as simple as when to strike, and what to look for or what you see when you roll spam?

[@Fishingteamlangegg]

Great Video

[@paulgoodwin4084]

I thought this video was by Carl and Alex when I saw the picture great video

[@channellodes788]

Good job👍👍

[@J_Punisher]

I got a question about connection the setup inline, when inline on braid is connected to mainline does it going through on knot. I mean i am using also a shock leader between main line and braid and the knot is a little bit fat.

[@pcarp6863]

A lot of my local waters have a no braid rule. What would you use as a hook link? Great vid, my son is looking forward to receiving his calendar!

[@anthonyrushton3495]

Great video as always how long do you leave it before you recast a solid bag thanks 😊

[@anthonyrushton3495]

Really enjoy your videos I've just started pva bags how long do you leave it before you recast a soild bag thank you

[@manickka]

Very nice

[@JoshLeher]

Great vid, but I have a couple question - when using solid bags, do you tighten up to the bag/lead, or leave it slack, and how would you go about fishing slack line or semi slack, thanks

[@SPS_survivor]

First bag rig video I’ve seen where someone puts the lead in before the hook link, do you find this more successful? I’m just waiting for time to get out on the bank so will be tying up a fair few to take ready to attach and get fishing quickly. I also use a syringe to inject hemp oil for a little more attraction. Also that new smart gel looks the business. Nice videos. Keep up the good work 👌🏼

[@ZabaluevFisherman]

Very nice 👍

[@H8er-Maker]

Good tip on drying off lead. Do you use fast or slow melt bags? Does your preference of bag type change in winter conditions?

[@jacob0518]

Just watched this video, it’s great! Btw are the ring swivels size 11?

[@meanontoast3211]

Hi there would the inline lead be classed as a fixed lead? Only asking as I want to use this rig but there is a rule of no fixed leads at the lake, great video cheers!

[@clarazuwied7326]

You should go to river Avon really good Barbel and pike

[@user-em8eu8og5h]

Helpful video Do you use 45 lb leader for any mainline ? (e.g. 12 lb, 15lb, 20 .b etc) or do you need to get lighter depending on the breaking strain of your mainline? also what is an alternative to using the braid ?

[@DoukeNchannel]

Hello Alex and Carl, i have a question. I like to fish with cage feeder, but i want to try pop-up boilies with it, i watched your "The EASIEST Carp Fishing rig to tie" tutorial, can i put on my cage feeder instead of lead? Will it not tackle? T.y. for the answers. :) Btw really good tutorials u have, good work. :)

[@arkastarakan8839]

Masih terjaga keasrian alam nya 👍👍👍

[@stealthfishingtv6440]

Good, good, good!

[@strikecast6847]

amazing, you guys should fish more in Lincolnshire!

[@timm4982]

Really enjoy your guys content (both channels). Great info and excellent cinematography. What kind of camera drone do you guys use?

[@LeeSprake-cp8ib]

What size bags did you use?

[@corbinhutchcroft4762]

I subbed to all ur channels

[@azaz...]

i see many carp videos and i see about feature finding for what is on the bottom , did you do this on this venue?

[@user-kh5zc9yy2h]

Hi bro🖐 What can I use instead of any kinds of pop ups?

[@baccoff3308]

Cool video!

[@fishingtutorials]

Cheers!

[@Jonalexxx]

Could you make a video about bite alarms? Which are the most reliable you’ve used?

[@eamonburrows8613]

Quick question guys, how often would you recast if no bites coming, 1/2 hr, an hr, or longer?? Great vid btw…

[@rohanhussain7934]

I have just watched this lol its still a excellent vid tho

[@declanhobbs8168]

Would this inline lead be classed as a fixed rig? I know you mention in case of a break off but the lead is still on ? Just curious as some fisheries near me don’t allow it

[@fishhubbd]

Beautiful

[@MindCatcherFishing]

hi Carl as you know I am knew to carping which would you say is the better way PVA Bags or PVA mesh ? I was wanting to go down the mesh method as it looks easier , Is there any rigs that don't go well PVA Mesh ???

[@fntsmn]

Fascinating! Did you ever think to create a better aerodynamic shape. I work in 3D printing for the last 7 years, and you can 3D print any shape you want using PVA. I will be more than interested to work together to create a part for better aerodynamic.

[@leesagar8651]

Great video lads! quick question.. what is your opinion on using bird seed in the bags? Do you think the salt trick work the same as it does with corn to make it PVA friendly?

[@thecraftedgrainco]

bird seed will be banned on most lakes, stick to pellets or hemp...crumbed boilies too

[@user-zp5bt5pv6x]

Nice

[@blueyesallen8975]

For a beginner, which would be best, pva bag or mesh? Thanks.

[@fishingtutorials]

I'd say mesh bag is probably easiest :)

[@mountstevens8688]

Are 10ft 3lb test rods good for small solid bag fishing? Just dipping my toes into speci fishing and most of the waters will be quite small like whelford pools if you know it?

[@Robi.95]

What if we are using some other different rigs, like heli or lead clip, not inline. Prolly using pva mesh, but the quantity of bait is lower, any tips :D ?

[@TheIridescentFisherMan]

I try and use korda for everything HOWEVER. Ive just revently bent one of those size 6 wide gap hooks on a carp. This has made me weary of them. If i bend anymore hooks ill stop uaing them. Keep in mind ive caught loads of fish on these hooks before. Perhaps it was just bade tempered or I weakened it somehow.

[@MateKCSGO]

What are the benefits of using Solid PVA Bags over a Method Feeder? Which option should I go for if I plan to stay on the lake for only couple of hours? Also love your other fishing tutorials :D

[@abdulmananvlogs9914]

Nice video I'm Waseem from Pakistan

[@lokaworld6307]

Great see how to fishing.I do love fishing too.but my simple fishing it's easy how to make it, even I've just got not to big catfish .#Loka world

[@oruam1599]

Hey, i have a question. Can u use solidbags on lakes with a really muddy bottom?

[@sashblaz]

Hi guys, Q: how often do you recast when using a solid pva bags? Thanks Sash
