Love your tutorials. Having just started fishing again after 35 years these tutorials about "modern" techniques that just were not around when I was a kid are priceless. I think I've watched most now! Thank you

[@thunderbug3762]

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you so much!!

[@sayittrue9570]

Just started fishing again after a break of 40 years,all these new methods and tips are really helpful.been spending most of my time those 40 years swimming with the fish as a scuba diver

[@fishingtutorials]

That's amazing to hear, all the best with your fishing! Glad you're getting back into it :)

[@MrAnderson321]

Great video, this got me into mesh PVA fishing for the backwaters for barbel, without a doubt I had instant results. It’s not for fast flowing rivers but for what I needed it for, slow flowing back waters under the trees, it worked a treat. Thanks guys. 👍

[@archiegarbett557]

have watched ur main channel for a while and wanted to learn how to tie a new rig so i checked this one out. these making them videos are so good and ive learnt about ten new things in an hour. keep

[@pitbikes9048]

Your tutorials have helped me out so much thanks

[@ChrisJenkinsPowell]

Great tutorial.. A couple of tips for you with stringers from an old timer... :-) Try and leave a gap between the boilies on the stringer tape.. (especialy in the winter) as it helps the PVA melt.. and you can loop the end of th stinger back round and hook it onto the hook to make for an easer distance cast ... Loving what you guys do... keep em comming :0)

[@clivehewitt9254]

Great information Carl thanks for the tips 😉👍

Hey, thank you for posting these tutorial videos. Very helpful for a beginner! Can I ask, what bait you use in the mesh pva? Is it a premade bait or something you guys make yourself?

[@finnmcgrath333]

[@deividas7415]

Great video guys ! Just quick question regarding PVA bags, as many venues ban leaders would it be ok just to attach the inline lead to mainline and use some anti tangle sleeve ? Many thanks:)

[@cardjunkie]

Great advice mate👍

[@SPS_survivor]

Does anyone else put their lead to one side of the bag? Good little tip as it ensures your bag lands lead side down and have your bait on the other side of the rig. Nick a little hole where your bait is to ensure it comes out neatly and perhaps some stuck mix (powder) around where the hook is to make sure you don’t end up with any small pellet that may get caught on the end of a sharp hook point - it’s unlikely, but better than sat behind your rods with that doubt in your mind. I’m sure we all get that feeling at times 😂🤔 Also in the hope of not undermining anyone, when using stringers, leave a small gap between each bait as otherwise the pva cannot melt resulting in a line of boilies. great video lads - I like to watch your videos as you’re very clear and accurate!! You had a good start though and I find your tutorials are cool. It’d be great if you guys did matches against each other (like curly and Luke do - carpology) Either counting weight or numbers of fish for 24 hours showing us different tactics and rigs - hey, every day is a school day right. Love your content.

Does PVA bags also is it expensive always work and have you ever been fishing at Broome pits in Bungay if not I recommend it .

Newbie here Do I use a weight on the main line ?? To keep the pop up on the bed once bag has dissolved Cheers Love the tutorials

do you need to tie a pop up rig on the hook or does the pop up keep it up

[@jonnybutterfield]

Hi Carl Hi Alex Watched all your videos I just wanted to try get some help and guidance on setting this rig up correctly I’ve got a dark leader core, I’ve got a guru 7.5poz bomb weight or I could buy an in line core shot but what’s best hook side - size 8? It’s just the dark leader core that’s bit confusing as I’ve not got the in line core weight just a guru bomb ledger type thing - I know I should make my own hair rigs but terrible short distance eye sight and I’m terrible at knots so easier for me to buy pre made - I bet if I find any they will be brade I’m also bit confused on clips and sheaths / beads etc Any help or new vid you could possibly do for people tying this rig for first time Thanks ever so much

[@topcattc9809]

Brilliant video

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you :)

[@mattandsharks]

Hey guys. Could you help me out please? I'm just after some advice on the best method/bait to use to target barbel in a med/fast flowing river. Obviously, it gets washed downstream. Is it even worth using pva bags in a river? Thanks.

[@jaabirxd9815]

Keep it up mate💪

[@fishingtutorials]

Will do!

[@james6495]

What’s the larger size boilie that would fit in the long chuck funnel web?

[@archiepilkington495]

Small tip if you want use a method feeder and a mold it is way quicker

[@RicTic66]

Hi Lads 😊 A thoroughly enjoyable and informative video as always. I was wondering if you get the time what with your busy schedule ect. Could you please do a tutorial on fishing for Carp from a river? What rigs/baits/line strength ect have worked well for you? The fish I'm targeting have probably never seen a hook before, the river is the upper part of the Thames (Oxford area) Plenty of time as I probably won't be out again at night until the Spring, although I may practice during the daytime if the weather's fine 👍🤗. Many thanks Rich.

[@fishingtutorials]

We'll try and cover river carping, but to be honest it might be a little while as we have lots of generic videos to work on first. Thanks for the idea though, it's definitely something we'll do!

[@RicTic66]

@@fishingtutorials Thank you for the reply. No rush 😊 plenty of stuff to learn in the meantime 👍👍 Looking forward to your next adventures and tutorials. 🤗

very good and very imformative, i really need to improve my video's so thay get more views, there nowhere near as good as yours,thanks again loving all your video's

[@dcdfm18bf18]

Any good mixes with bread and boillie and a few more????

[@trld91]

Hey guys...love your videos, always well explained and very helpful, im new to carp fishing with a lot to learn..is it possible to use solid PVA bags with a lead clip system with a swivel and short rig inside, or does it have to be an inline lead to be able to tie the bags properly? any help would be appreciated thanks

[@roundtheloopandback]

Tony I am also new there is a video from another guy about solid bags and he uses a korda inline lead.

[@nwilson2167]

As the others have said. This young guy explains all really well

[@fishingtutorials]

Happy you found it easy to understand :)

[@225kk]

Will the solid pva work in slow to medium flow rivers?

[@jamieronan2523]

Could u do a vid on how to find spots in lake using maker floats and leads , personally that’s my weakest point in carp fishing and I’m sure a lot more carp anglers too, cheers

[@alexandersmith8111]

Hi mate just an idea but you could possible find ur own clear part of where u are fishing and bait it up before heading there to fish or make a spot clear where u think will be good the new exposed ground will make them explore hopefully

[@snarledtomcat4968]

Please can you do a tutorial for the rig you use for the solid pva bag thank you and keep up the great work

[@orveline]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp3bqoKLjNeGn8k this is a really good tutorial for that rig

[@mrneene]

Thanks for the video!! May I ask if you think if it is possible to prepare mesh-PVA‘s filled with ingredients without water the night before fishing? Sometimes it becomes a hassle to do on location, especially if you haven‘t got too much time to fish.

[@fishingtutorials]

Absolutely! Tie a few bags up before you go and save time on the bank! The only thing you can’t do is use baits with water in them in a PVA bag! :)

[@carpman4767]

[@larsjansen8955]

Great video again Carl and Alex! But how to use PVA in combination with a ronnie rig or chod rig? The PVA can lay over the rig so it will not pop-up anymore?

[@fishingtutorials]

We tend not to use PVA bags on chod rigs, just because their main benefit is the fact that the pop up sinks slowly and lays on top of any weeds or soft silt. Shouldn’t be a problem with putting a PVA bag on a Ronnie rig if your casting into a relatively clean lake bed. The polio will just pop up once the pva has melted. :) tight lines and hope that helps!
