PVA has, in some ways, revolutionised bait presentation for anglers. I’m a big fan of PVA mesh, but I’ve never been a big user of solid bags. I know mesh breaks down to give very little residue, but I’ve heard horror stories about solid bags being retrieved hours later as a glutinous mess around the hook.
Breakdown rate was phenomenal. 15 seconds after being dropped into my test tank, the PVA had ruptured and started to deposit the bait in a tidy pile. The size of the bag means that a substantial handful of pellets, boilies or other loose feed can be used when introducing bait into the swim. After around 45 seconds, the PVA had disappeared completely to leave the bait clean on the bottom. With this speedy breakdown rate, it may be an idea to place a stone or your lead in the bag to make sure it hits the bottom fast enough!
NASH have a great reputation for innovative problem solving; these PVA bags certainly solve most of the dilemmas faced by an angler when it comes to putting bait into weeds, reeds or hitting a spot at distance. With a super fast breakdown and lots of capacity, they are sure to be a winner in any anglers armoury.
