Why put 4 boilies in your pva bag then randomly throw handfulls out? And that question goes to ant82! Sorry I forgot to "quote"

I just started carp fishing with in the last year so not really that clued up just thought a small scattering in and around my rig might bring them in to the swim i understand that if i just used the ones in the bag it draw the fish to the hook bait I'm open to any advice or tips that come my way anything that could improve my fishing thanks

Your catching mate so stick at it, I werent knockin you. The reasons of single bait, pva, stringers, spodding etc go to far without the knowin more details, keep on catching. Bud
