braid for silt

[peewee_s]

I am fishing a lake with blackish silt. I am using suffix black stealth in conjunction with stringers and pva funnell web with stix mix. I want to try the lead and rig in apva bag. being a coated braid the presentation isnt up to much,any sugestions for a black braid would help me out

Why do you want to try a PVA bag with the lead and rig inside it? If you are fishing a silty bottom the whole lot will be dragged into the silt and out of sight of the carp!

I used a 4oz lead tied to a light coloured leadcore,had a feel around the areas were i am fishing. The stain on the leadcore showed about 30mm deep The idea is to us a big bag light lead and hopefully it wont go into the silt to deeply.I have tried stripping the black stealth, the inner braid isnt supple enough looking for a supple black braid, any ideas

Why The need for a Black Braid?

 

If you look at Kryston SuperSilk it will do the job very effectively. Its white when you get it, but it takes on the Colour of the Silt rather nicely!

 

As for the PVA Bag, unless you make it buoyant it will take the whole lot into the silt

The black braid would give me piece of mind. Are there any on the market, the fish have mostly been caught on bottem baits so they are used to rooting around. want to try something that they are not familiar with.

Any braid and a permanent marker,any smell will soon be removed with the smell of the silt.
