PVA gets more bait into the water. A method ball is mostly water already. A handul of pellets is dry so when it absorbs the lake water it will be alot more food out there when compared to a method ball.

I like to use pva bags because I can put them together in advance and slide them onto the hook link when I need it. Also, when a pva bag is on the hook link there is no chance of the hook link getting tangled.

I'm not anti method, I use method some times, its just that I prefer pva. Method can be painful to handle in the winter.

I like method because it is cheap and and easy to prepare. Pva is great but I rarely use it anymore unless going for big distance

I don't really use Method.
I use either PVA or pack. Or, I'll just throw out maize.
If I have dry or oil-based particles or boilie bits I will often use PVA; if it is supposed to be raining or if I just want to use pack, that's what I do.
