They are produced within the UK and deliver a vast array of benefits that will help you to put more fish on the bank. This is because when the PVA bag dissolves it can put quite a bit of strain on your fishing line– especially if there are multiple fish feeding on your patch of bait. As with other types of carp rig, you’ll need to start off with a leader. For solid bags, however, it’s often recommended that you use a slightly heavier leader than normal – something in the 15lb-20lb range.

All you need to do is attached your solid bag stems to your rig, place them into a solid bag, and store them somewhere dry until you need them. I usually keep 3 or 4 pre-tied in my tub of pellet mix. Rigs don't come much more simple than this knotless knot set up, but the hooking potential is enhanced via the use of a short piece of silicon tubing over the eye of the hook to help it flip round and take a hold in a carp's mouth.For the best results experiment with either an over-weighted pop-up or a wafter hookbait, with bright colours often working best." If you want to use exactly the same set-up that has helped Ali to catch loads of carp from a wide variety of venues of the years, but you aren't confident in tying your own, then there is no longer any need to as the PVA Ready Rig has just been released. The extremely dense nature of Fluorocarbon material used ensures these leaders sink very fast and keep everything pinned down on the lake bed.

So how should your put together solid bag rig? Well, like other popular carp rigs– there are many ways to do this. Below, we begin breaking up the different sections of a solid bag – then we’ll move on to making them! Solid Bag Leaders

A key question is how long should your PVA bag rig be? Well, you can use most ‘standard’ PVA solid bag sizes for the majority of angling situations. The rigs are finished with a loop at the other end and can be attached to your chosen lead set-up using either a loop-to-loop knot or via a QC swivel. I prefer using dry baits because anything mildly wet will accelerate the dissolve speed of your PVA bag, which means you may not be fishing efficiently!

Your rig is placed inside the solid bag, with the aim that once cast into the lake and settled on the bottom – the solid bag will dissolve releasing your rig, hook bait, and dry feed. Finding fish will always be the number one tip to catching carp, however, setting up your solid bag rig to give you the best chance is key for this method of fishing. Each Gemini Leader is produced using 100% Fluorocarbon, our leaders are not plastic coated. The fluorocarbon material we use has a light refractive index of 1.42 (very similar to water), making them near invisible underwater. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit.

Thanks to a spliced loop, they can be simply looped on and off your main line, which means that you can tie several in preparation for hauling and loop a new one on in an instant! You’ll also want to use a leader material that is quite abrasion resistant. This will help to prevent the PVA from damaging your line as it dissolves. Fluorocarbon leaders are a good option, as they’re both strong and abrasion resistant.
