P.V.A bags can give you an advantage on most waters like getting small particle baits like pellets, chap boilies, and even Particles like tiger nuts & maize as Cotswold baits do pva friendly particles.
I’ve done pva particles before with the aid of dry ground bait. The best one I’ve tried is ground dry tigers with whole Tigers, as tiger nuts are pretty instant on most waters.
I fished a local water a few years ago and most fisheries were casting close to reeds and not getting takes, the fish were taking the over spray of bait that hit the reeds and staying away from the danger area in the day as there was no night fishing and feeding out of the reeds at night.
The pva bag sorted this out for me; the way I did this was to get a large pva bag, put my lead short hooklink pellets & boilies and source liquid.
The reeds weren’t too thick, ways though them so I just cast the bag very hard into the reeds.
I would use two bags for this method as I found one bag would split.
The bait would land about a foot into the reeds and melt leaving a perfect presentation, I was going down for 4 to 5 hours on an evening and taking about 4 or 5 low doubles to low twenties so it really worked well getting my hook bait into the safety zone so give it a try, it works!
