Casting out

[joeypierce100]

Is it best to always use a pva bag or stocking stuffed with bait when casting out? or should i just use the bait sometimes without a pva bag attached too??

 

Thanks in advanced

pva will reduce your cast but is good for getting bait around the hookbait but you can do this without using pva

 

the method feeder works well for this

 

but if distance is what your after and dont have the kit,singles are the best

Joey, I have to agree with beanz about the method feeder, it's so versatile. You can use it for casting into the distance or fishing the margins. In fact I prefer to use the method in the margins, especially as evening draws in. It has the added advantage that you can load as much or as little bait onto it as you choose, and you can add pretty well what you like to the mix.

Pva is useful for many reasons. It reduces tangles when used as a Bag or as a Stringer, it prevents weed from catching the hook.

When used as a bag or stringer it does reduce distance, but unless you are fishing at your extreme range then I think the advantages far out weigh the disadvantges. You get FreeBait around your Hookbait, as you can with a Method Ball of Groundbait, You reduce tangles and you make your hookbait more attractive to Carp.

 

I use PVA in some form or another nearly every cast, even with Floater Fishing.
