Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing solid bags. It gives you a quick, tidy way to build a compact parcel around the hookbait.
- Anglers who hate terminal-tackle faff. The loading funnel and line slot make filling and sealing much more controlled.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers mainly fishing loose-feed approaches. The system is built specifically around solid PVA bags, so it won’t add much to a method you rarely use.
- Those wanting one bag size for every situation. Small, Medium and Large each suit different feed amounts, hookbaits and casting jobs.

The dedicated loading system, bag grip and line slot show proper attention to the fiddly parts of solid-bag fishing.
It’s designed to produce a packed, sealed bag ready to cast in seconds when used with dry, suitable contents.
A compact dissolving parcel can put feed and hookbait together neatly, giving solid-bag tactics a strong presentation advantage.
The funnel support and lick, twist and seal closure remove much of the usual bank-side faff.
Twenty bags per size and no need for separate sealing tape make it a sensible option for regular solid-bag anglers.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Nash Speedload PVA System
Solid PVA bags have been catching carp for donkeys. They’re brilliant when you want a tight little parcel of attraction wrapped around the hookbait, rather than bait spread all over the swim. The snag is getting the bag tied neatly without making a right meal of it.
That’s where the Nash Speedload PVA System comes in. It’s designed to make bagging up quicker and less fiddly, especially when you’re rebaiting after a bite, changing spots or trying to get a rod back out before the window closes.
The clever bit is the loading system itself. It grips the PVA bag while you fill it, giving you something stable to work against. No more chasing a limp bag round the bivvy table while pellets roll everywhere. Properly handy, that.
There’s also a slot to keep your mainline or leader out of the way. That sounds like a small detail, but anyone who’s tried filling a solid bag with the rig dangling around knows how quickly it can turn into a tangle-fest. Keeping the terminal end controlled means a cleaner job.
Once the bag’s loaded, you don’t need PVA tape to close it. The Speedload bags use a lick, twist and seal technique. Get the contents packed, twist the top, seal it, and you’ve got a compact package ready to cast. Less kit in the tackle box is always a result.
The bags are made from dissolvable PVA material, so they’re intended to break down in the water and leave your hookbait and feed together on the lakebed. That makes them useful over clean bottoms, softer silt and in weed where a neat presentation can be more reliable than a loose spread of bait.
Nash offers the system in Small, Medium and Large. The Small bags measure 55mm x 125mm, Medium are 70mm x 155mm, and Large come in at 85mm x 180mm. Each size includes 20 bags, so you can choose the format that suits the job rather than trying to force every rig into one shape.
Small is the neat option when you want a low-profile parcel, a modest amount of crumb or pellets, and a rig that stays compact. Medium is likely to be the most flexible choice for everyday carp work. Large gives you more room when you want to carry a bigger payload or create a more obvious patch of attraction around the hookbait.
There are a few bank basics to remember. Keep the contents dry, don’t overfill the bag, and make sure the hook point and rig sit sensibly inside the finished package. A beautifully loaded bag is no use if the hook is masked or the parcel flies apart during the cast.
Overall, the Speedload PVA System is aimed at making a proven carp tactic quicker and more repeatable. It won’t replace good rig work or sensible bait choice, but it can cut a load of faff from the process. For anglers who like solid bags and want to get the rods off with less messing about, it looks spot on.

Our take
The angle
Solid bags are brilliant for presenting a compact parcel of attraction right beside the hookbait, especially when weed, soft silt or nuisance fish make a loose pile of bait a bit risky.
The Speedload system is all about removing the fiddly bits. Fill the bag, seal it with a lick, twist and seal, then you’ve got a compact package ready to clip up and cast.
The kit
A cleaner way to build a solid bag
The Nash Speedload PVA System is made for tying solid PVA bags without the usual wrestling match. The loading funnel grips the bag as you fill it, while the dedicated slot helps keep your mainline or leader clear of the working area.
There are three sizes: Small at 55mm x 125mm, Medium at 70mm x 155mm, and Large at 85mm x 180mm. Each comes with 20 dissolvable PVA bags. That gives you options for a small, neat parcel or a bigger feed load when conditions call for it.
The closure is simple. Fill the bag, give the top a lick, twist it and seal it. No separate PVA tape needed, which keeps the process quick and cuts down on loose bits of terminal tackle.
Worth knowing. Don’t ram the bag solid just because there’s space. A tidy, properly sealed parcel that casts cleanly is far more useful than a massive one that splits or lands like a brick.
On the bank
Best for tidy, repeatable PVA fishing
This is a natural fit for carp anglers who use solid bags over clean lakebeds, soft silt or weed. The compact parcel keeps the hookbait and feed together, giving you a tight little dinner table around the rig rather than a scattered handful of bait.
It also suits busy sessions. If you’ve had a screaming take, rebaited and want to get straight back on the spot, a loading system that grips the bag can save a fair bit of faff. That matters when the fish are on the munch and the bite-time window is short.
Medium is the sensible all-round starting point, while Small works nicely for restrained bags and Large is better when you want more feed. Just match the finished bag to your casting gear and the rig inside it; an overstuffed parcel can be a bit naff to chuck.
Worth knowing. Before sealing, check the hook point isn’t buried in feed and that the rig isn’t twisted. The Speedload system makes the bag easier to build, but the final presentation still depends on your bank-side care.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know
Do the bags dissolve? Yes. They’re made from dissolvable PVA material and are designed to break down in the water, leaving the hookbait and feed presented together.
Do you need tape to seal them? No. The stated method is lick, twist and seal. That means one less item to carry and one less bit of kit to find when you’re trying to get a rod back out.
Which size is right? Small measures 55mm x 125mm, Medium 70mm x 155mm and Large 85mm x 180mm. Use Small for compact presentations, Medium as the flexible everyday option, and Large when you need more capacity.
Worth knowing. Whatever size you choose, keep the bag and contents dry until you’re ready to cast. Wet PVA can become awkward quickly, especially when you’re trying to make a neat, reliable package.
