Are PVA bags good for carp fishing?
“PVA bags work all year round. In winter they’re especially good as carp don’t want to eat a lot and that little trap is more than enough.

How long do PVA bags take to dissolve?
This will release all of the attraction as soon as the PVA bag dissolves. I’ve found that around half-an-hour is enough time for the liquid to thoroughly soak through the bag. After being left for this amount of time, there’s no reason why the bag won’t release attraction for up to 12hrs.

12ft-13ft
most carp rods are 12ft-13ft in length. You should choose the length which feels most comfortable but bear in mind that you will need to be reasonably tall and strong as well as having a good technique to get the best out of a 13ft rod. In situations where there are overhanging trees, a longer rod can be a hindrance.
