“Recasting depends on the venue. If I’m on a venue like Orchid where you’re only really fishing for one or two carp in 24 hours then I would happily give it up to 10 hours, maybe 12 hours overnight, but ideally six hours really. If I was fishing a runs water and I’m on fish it could be every two hours.

Can you use a bottom bait in PVA bag?

You can add a fine powder like groundbait to fill the gaps in your bag or choose a smaller pellet, but its imperative you make the bag as compact as possible, with as little trapped air as you can. I use a short rig for fishing in solid bags, and a size 8 bottom bait hook is plenty big enough.

Can you use a lead clip with a solid PVA bag?
