Choose the Hook Size
Match the hook size to your hook bait, target fish and fishery rules. Larger hooks can suit bigger baits, while smaller hooks provide a more discreet presentation.
Everything you need to know about the rig, how it is designed to fish and how to choose the right configuration.
Our Solid PVA Bag Rigs are purpose-built for one of the most effective carp fishing methods around – presenting your hookbait perfectly inside a compact parcel of attraction.
Hand tied and individually checked by Ricks Rigz, these ready made solid PVA bag rigs are designed to give you a neat, tangle-resistant presentation that can be cast with confidence and settle cleanly amongst your free offerings.
Whether you're fishing over silt, gravel, clay or small areas of weed, a solid bag gives you complete control over exactly what lands around your hookbait. Pair that with a correctly constructed short hooklink and you have a highly effective presentation for pressured carp, quick bites and accurate fishing.
A good PVA bag rig needs to be compact, reliable and capable of resetting correctly once the bag has dissolved.
Our rigs are tied with this style of fishing in mind, giving you a short, controlled presentation that sits naturally amongst pellets, crushed boilies, crumb and other PVA-friendly loose feed.
The compact hooklink helps minimise tangles during the cast while keeping the hookbait close to the concentrated area of attraction created by the bag.
Every rig is produced with consistency in mind, giving you the confidence to spend more time fishing and less time tying rigs on the bank.
Solid PVA bags are particularly effective when you want to deliver a small amount of highly attractive bait directly around your hookbait.
They are a great option for:
Because the rig and hookbait are protected inside the bag during the cast, solid PVA bags can also help reduce the risk of tangles or the hook becoming masked by debris.
Once the PVA dissolves, your hookbait is left sitting amongst a concentrated pile of free food.
This creates a compact feeding area where the carp is encouraged to investigate and feed close to your hookbait, making solid bag fishing particularly effective when fish are feeding cautiously.
For anglers who want a reliable ready made carp rig for solid PVA bags, this is a proven presentation that can be used throughout the year.
Depending on the configuration you choose, these rigs are incredibly versatile and perform best with:
A small, highly visible or boosted hookbait can work particularly well when surrounded by the concentrated attraction of a solid PVA bag.

Practical answers based on this rig's setup, hookbait compatibility and the conditions it is designed to fish in.
This is a Solid PVA Bag 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, Wafters, Bottom Baits / Boilies, Pellets, Particles and Artificial Baits. 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, Wafter Presentation, Bottom Bait Presentation, Critically Balanced Presentation and Pellet 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.
Each rig is hand tied and inspected before dispatch. The Rig Details on this page show the current specification, while the configurator lets you choose the options that make sense for your own fishing.
