PVA mesh

PVA mesh

— nets made of a special material based on polyvinyl acetate resin (PVA), used mainly in carp fishing — for "point" bait, when additional bait should be located in close proximity to the hook. Boilies (or other lure) are placed in such a net, the finished “candy” is fixed directly on the fishing line and thrown along with the equipment; under water, the mesh dissolves in a few minutes, releasing complementary foods.

PVA grids can have different thicknesses — based on different water temperatures. Thin nets are intended mainly for cold water, where dissolution is slow, and even small fibers have time to "live" enough time to effectively feed the bait. Thick nets, in turn, are better suited for warm water — especially at great depths, when "on the way to the day" the bait has to travel a long distance through the water column. In addition, we note that fine mesh usually has a finer weave and is suitable for any food, including fine ones; in a thick mesh, the cells are quite large, it is designed mainly for complementary foods in the form of large particles.
