Pva

Are the usual damp GB or bread or normal wetted pellets sufficient to dissolve PVA bags ?

I make up my bags in advance but only use dry ingredients. I know I could try it but thought I would ask first!

You can damp things with oil, hemp or fish oils are great, but pretty much any will work. Corn Steep Liqour, molasses, lots of things are pva friendly.

One thing though, why not just use a method feeder if you are putting groundbait in bags?

I do but am looking at alternatives. Latterly I have been using a hybrid feeder!

Why do you think you need an alternative? Broadly speaking method fishing is far more versatile than pva bags

I think you are right! As a novice I like to try every aspect even if a waste of time! ( for novice read plonker)

I use liquidised bread in GURU speed mesh and it works fine.
The speedmesh is very quick brake down so use I use old bread and keep the made up PVA in an air tight tub. I always put one or two in when fishing bread. in winter.
