The Solid PVA Bag Ronnie rig, Made with a short supple braid to allow them to be added to your PVA bag along with your free offerings, these are designed to use with a Pop up or Wafter.
This method is gaining popularity as it combines the very effective Ronnie Rig with the benefits of the PVA bag ensuring your small amount of free offerings are around your bait.
These Ronnie Rigs are tied with a very supple braid on a short link so you dont have coils of braid inside the Solid Bag (3 to 5 inches). The supple braid can be used because the PVA bag will prevent tangles and will give the movement and least resistance, as soon as a fish picks up your bait and turns its head the hook link will become tight to the lead causing the hook to get a better hold. . Using a PVA bag is often the go to method when the weather cools and fish become less active, the fish will often come and take the entire contents of your pva bag in 1 mouthful.... Including your hook bait. Before the fish even has a chance to move off the weight has caused the hook to flip and enter in the bottom lip.

Tips for Optimal usage:
When using a wafter, test the rig prior to fishing to ensure the hook lays flat on the bottom, it may be required that the wafter will need to be trimmed to obtain that crucial presentation.
If you are using a pop up you may need to add some rig putty around the knot on the ronnie swivel.
Because this rig is available in a wide range of shrink tube colours, alot of anglers find that using a bright colour will often get a quick bite as it plays on a Carps inquisitive nature. Or you could use a colour to blend in to your pva bag contents if you prefer the more stealthy approach.

Practical answers based on this rig's setup, hookbait compatibility and the conditions it is designed to fish in.
This is a Solid Bag Ronnie Rig supplied ready tied and ready to fish. The idea is to give you a dependable starting point, then let you choose the hookbait and final options to suit the water in front of you.
This rig works well with Pop Ups and Wafters. Whichever hookbait you choose, make sure it is balanced to suit the rig so it settles cleanly and reacts quickly when a carp picks it up.
It is a good option over gravel, silt, mud, clay and weed. I would still check the spot before casting, because a clean presentation matters more than the label on the lakebed. If there is weed, debris or very soft silt, adjust the setup so the rig can settle properly.
This is a versatile rig that can be used through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. I would still let the conditions on the day guide the final setup, especially water temperature, fish activity and how confidently the carp are feeding.
This rig can be fished with Pop Up Presentation and Wafter Presentation. The final presentation will depend on the hookbait you choose, its buoyancy and the lakebed you are fishing over, so it is worth checking the rig in the edge before casting out.
