A PVA mesh bag of small pellets is probably my favourite and most commonly used barbel-baiting tactic.
I sometimes use feeders on deeper rivers or long sessions but generally revert to a few pre-tied PVA bags of pellets when staying mobile on shorter sessions.
How do you attach you bags to your rig?
Do you hook them or tie them to the lead in some way, and why?
The current trend seems to be to attach them to the lead. I, however, seem to catch fish just fine by nicking them on the hook. I go through once, twist the mesh and through again for security on the cast.
