I’ve been playing around with PVA for some time now, and here I’m going to show two different ways of making pva bags for use.
The first method you will see is using a PVA tube, ideal for making a required bag size with little waste, tying both ends of the bag.
The second method is still using the PVA tube but this time without any knots at all, instead I’ve been using a heat sealer to seal and cut the bag. Producing minimalistic waste and no reliance on knot strength.
In both instances I am demonstrating the bags using maggots as my ground bait.
Tie a knot in the bottom of the PVA tube then fill
with Maggots
Shake the PVA tub until all the maggots are at
the bottom
Twist the tube nice and tight
Now tie the other end of the bag
Trim off above the knot with a pair of scissors
Attach to hook ready to cast out
My little gadget a battery heat sealer
Seal the bottom of the PVA with a heat sealer
and fill with maggots
Pack all the maggots down the bottom of the bag
Press the heat sealer on tht PVA and press
together

Slowly glide across the PVA, this will seal it and

cut it at the same time   

The finished item all neat and sealed both sides

Both methods work for me so why not give it a go?
