PVA bags are a good idea in certain situations, the distance from the hook
to the leger weight is reduced to about four inches so that it fits inside
the bag, hook and bait in one corner, leger in the other.
Then you can fill the bag up with (dry) baits such as pellets, meat or corn
(rolled in groundbait dust) or anything else you like.
Lick the top edge of the bag and twirl it around to seal the package and
then launch it as far as you like.
It's the best way to get a piece of luncheon meat a long distance with a
handful of bait surrounding the hookbait........the bag melts after about
ten seconds.
I use them from time to time when the situation warrants it, but most of my
carp are caught (as you said) with no end tackle other than a hook, using a
piece of bread or pre-soaked dog biscuit.
