How to choose the ideal lure for spring: PVA bag fishing vs. cold water boilie fishing
Winter has passed, the sun begins to shyly warm the water, and for us fishermen, the most awaited moment of the year has begun: the opening of the carp fishing season!
However, spring games can be a double-edged sword. Although the fish are starting to come out of their lethargy and move to areas of shallower water, the water is still cold. Carp have a slow metabolism, eat little and are highly selective. If you give him a hard-to-digest nada or massive nada, you'll tire him out instantly and miss the chance for a trait.
So how should cold water parties be approached? Here are the golden tactics and tricks that make the difference:
1. The Ultimate Spring Tactic: PVA Bag Fishing
Rule number one in spring: don't sneeze massively! If during the summer the carp can consume whole kilos of nada, now a handful of wrongly thrown bait can block their appetite.
That's why we strongly recommend fishing with PVA bags. It is by far the most effective cold water tactic. A fine mix inside the PVA bag creates an "explosion" of attraction fixed around the hookbait without giving the fish a consistent mass. The carp will suck up the small pile of nada in one go, automatically taking the hook as well.

2. What do you do if you prefer classic boilies fishing on cold water?
There are many anglers who prefer to stay true to the classic style, fishing exclusively with boilies on the hairline and casting isolated from the cobra. If you really want to tackle this tactic in the spring, the secret is extreme solubility.
In cold water, the heavy oils coagulate and the flavors remain locked inside the ball. You need to use a porous boilies, which starts working as soon as it hits the substrate. It soaks extremely little (5-10 balls around the mount is more than enough).
MyON Baits recommendations for boilies fishing (Red Brutality Range): The Red Brutality range was specifically created to excel in tough conditions. The highly spiced mix rich in predigested flours guarantees an intense feeding signal:
- For calling nada and nada bed creation, use Soluble Boilies Red Brutality. They dissolve perfectly at low temperatures, forming an olfactory cloud without saturating the fish.
- On the hook, you need a bait with increased attraction. Rely on Soluble Hook Red Brutality, which have an extra dose of attractiveness.
- If the fish is extremely lethargic and apathetic eating, a critically balanced bait will bring you the trait. Mount on the hair a Critical Balanced Dumbell Red Brutality 14 mm. Its barrel shape and perfect buoyancy will fool even the most alert carp.
Whatever style you choose – PVA bag or classic boilie fishing – don't let the still cold temperatures keep you away from the water's edge. Equip yourself properly with easily digestible premium baits, look for shallow water areas where the sun shines, be precise and stingy in baiting, and the results will not be long in coming!
See you on the beach! Stretched thread!
