How to Tie a Solid PVA Bag (Flat Bed Style) for Carp Fishing

Solid PVA bags are a popular method for presenting bait effectively in carp fishing. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to tie a solid PVA bag in a flat bed style as demonstrated in the video "How to tie a Solid PVA Bag (Flat Bed Style) | Korda Carp Fishing" by Korda TV Carp Fishing.

Materials Needed:

• Small solid PVA bag
• Pellet mix
• Lead
• PVA tape
• Scissors

Step 1: Prepare the PVA Bag

1. Grab a small solid PVA bag suitable for this style of bag.
2. Add about an inch to an inch and a half of your preferred pellet mix to the bottom of the PVA bag.
3. Place a lead in the bag so it leans to one side of the PVA bag.
4. Top up the mix in the bag until the lead disappears, but on the opposite side of the lead.

Step 2: Fill and Seal the Bag

1. Top up the bag a bit more with the mix until the hook bait disappears into the material.
2. Gather all the corners of the PVA bag together and give it a little twist.
3. Tap the top and bottom of the bag to make the mix settle and fill the bag evenly.
4. Keep tapping to make the bag tighter, ensuring all the pellets in the mix fill the bag completely.

Step 3: Secure with PVA Tape

1. Get PVA tape, which is ideal for securing the PVA bag.
2. Start wrapping the PVA tape around the bag tightly, going underneath the bag with each revolution to make it tighter.
3. Finish by tying two overhand knots to secure the tape in place.

Step 4: Pierce the Bag

1. Pierce the PVA bag in a specific place next to the hook bait using scissors.
2. This hole will allow the air to escape when the bag is submerged, ensuring it sinks quickly.
3. The bag will melt at the weakest point, which is crucial for the presentation of your bait.

Step 5: Final Touches

1. Trim off any excess PVA and tag ends to tidy up the bag.
2. Ensure the bag is tightly sealed to prevent any spillage of the bait.
3. Hold the licked corner in place for a few seconds to allow it to stick securely.

By following these steps, you can create a solid PVA bag in a flat bed style that will effectively present your bait and improve your carp fishing success.
