    Any of yall ever use them?  I asked about them over at us carp pro and got a limited answer. I am thinking about giving them a shot.

    for those who do not know about pva here's a link and pic.

    PVA is widely used in freshwater sport fishing. Small bags made from PVA are filled with dry- or oil-based bait and attached to the hook, or the baited hook is placed inside the bag and cast into the water. When the bag lands on the lake or river bottom it breaks down, leaving the hook bait surrounded by ground bait, pellets etc. This method helps attract fish to the hook bait, though it does result in dissolved plastic in the water.

    Anglers also use string made of PVA for the purpose of making temporary attachments; for example holding in a coil a length of line that might otherwise tangle while the cast is made.[/quote]

    That's a new one for me. Sounds like it would work, and those are used for detergents and such. I agree with you tho, there is an uncertainty about just what it breaks down to. At least I don't know.

    I've used the PVA bags, mostly the drawstring type from Resistance Tackle, with reasonable success, as long as you don't get the things wet. Even corn will work in them, you just need something to dry the corn out with before you put it in the bag. Plain bread crumbs works really well, all you need is to drain the corn of as much liquid as possible and make sure the crumbs aren't soaking wet (think of it along the lines of a dry pack bait, something that won't hold together). Also one of the most tangle free delivery systems there is, as everything goes into the same solid package.
