I say PVA wins.

* You don't have to get your hands all sticky.
* You don't have to use funny looking tackle.
* They can be premade.

and most importantly...

* Since it doesn't have all of the water weight, already in it, you can put out a lot more attractant with much less weight and bulk.

What say y'all?

I have never used a method feeder because I dont believe that ball of particels close to a hooklink works
However I do use a "methodmix "but that is more a mixture of pellets and meals made into a ball...but very dry and hard
So the carp have to break it with there nose to release the smell
I usualy drop 10 -15 balls in the swim just to start off..and bait up with boilies over that
And yes I do fish with stringers of PVA but only 2-3 boilies max

if your method is right you can pack it around a gripper lead or almoseany other kind of lead. yes method is heavy but I have more confidence in method that pva sticks. now unless the fishing is really crazy and it's a one pole day then I will use pva sticks just cause it's fast and easy. but I think method is better.

also to add to that I also think that too much smell can be a bad thing. jmho

PVA, because it makes for a better tomahawk cast.

I have zero experience with PVA so method wins by default, but ive been wanting to try out PVA. I think the big PVA bags seem like they would be more efffective, filled up with boilies, birdseed and some other particles. If i could just figure out how fix the big PVA bag of goodies on to the rig i would try it.

Yea thats one way that ive read about rigging up the PVA, but have you tried these BDS PVA weights? Its says that you secure the bag on the weight with an O-ring, to me the design looks like it would work. Im just not sure if its one of those things that are made to catch more fishermen than fish. Wacker baits has them on their website in the PVA section.

BadChadE uses those and likes them. I like pva and method and they each have their place. If I need distance I use a stick mix, but if fishing to 80yds I use method. It is good to have options

I think the method creates aggressive feeding and due to the huge numbers of massive fish its given to me; I'll say the method for carp wins every time.

Now for those dainty buffs, I'd say they're about equal.
Carp anglers don't mind getting dirty! We wear crocks in snake country!

Ha!

The way I see it there are 2 times when method has an advantage. When you are using attractors that are not PVA safe and when you are using method as a baiting strategy, such as Wolfman Leo described. Other than that it is for metrosexuals, A.K.A. people that wear womens shoes when fishing.

thought about using pva for a while now, but with such good success on method mix, why change it now...


I thank God for each day!

Me too. However, I've got the confidence in method and that goes a long way.
