Tank you have to use the P.V.A friendly particles because the home made ones will melt the bags before you can tie them or cast them out because of the water.

just let particles dry on a cloth, and then dust them in dry groundbait before putting them in the bag.

Yes TFG do PVA friendly ones. you can flavour your pellets in the bags as well and you can use choped boilies and a coupleof whole ones in a bag as well if boilies are not banned where you fish.Remember to use more than one size of pellet in your bags and dont forget toput a couple of samples of your hookbait in aswell to help fool the carp.

Or mix them with mashed tuna in sunflower oil. Hmmmmm! Mashed tuna.
Anything oily is safe with PVA - I'm pretty sure.

yep, but you then get all the match commitee men moaning about oil slicks on the lake.

Nope, that's why the oil in your pellets doesn't melt it.
If you make a load of bags of pellets and leave them for a few days you'll see the pva has taken on the oil from the pellets and gone brown or red or whatever colour the oil is.

ah rightyo so i'll be ok with coating my mixture in veg oil? then putting it in the old pva bag ready for a session the night before. gonna defo give these a go as they seam to be the most effective way of getting your bait down while carping.

I wouldn't ladle it on but yes it should be ok.
As long as the particles are coated in oil (ordry groundbait)rather than water it should be fine.
Some people fill the solid pva bags with pva friendly liquid flavours just to make a scent cloud in the water with little or nofeed in it whatsoever.
I use the mesh ones for barbel on the rivers and my occasional ventures into carp fishing. I usually fill them with a mixture of different sized pellets and boilies - some crushed, some not andI always use a hookbait to match what's in the bag.
I've read also that some make up the pva bags of pellets/boilies well in advance of fishing trips then leave them to soak, contents and all, in a pva friendly liquid flavour for a few weeks before using them.
That's pretty much what mine look like - nothing fancy, I use the Korda 4 Seasons mesh and ESP stuff too, depends what's in stock at my tackle shop. They both seem much of a muchness, I wouldn't be suprised if they were madeby the same manufacturer.
