I want to give a big "two Thumbs up" to New World Carp in Hamilton.

I have ordered some gear from them on more than one occasion and they always deliver in a few days, everything in order. I just bought a pair of collapsible tripod stands and a bite alarm for bank fishing and they threw in a free container of the jumbo Maize.
Extra cool bit: The popcorn packaging inside the box is not polystyrene, it's PVA nuggets!

Nice! Some extra PVA foam for you!
For a bit I had thought you'd ordered it from the UK
Pretty handy stuff. you can stick a piece onto your hook point to prevernt tangles, and it dissolves off, or you can add a few pieces to slow your hook drop as it melts.
Sorta like stale mini marshmallows?

Kind of, I think the PVA nuggets are completely dissolved in about 60 seconds. I have used mini marshmallows crusted in fish powder as pop ups...they worked really well.

LOL I've tried to use these as bait when i was a kid and they fall off very easily. since I already have some in the closet I'm going to try this! I'll be able to tell if they work because I'll see the marshmallow float up.

Honestly - stale mini marshmallows work kinda cool - they in combination with a worm were a standard bait used for splake off the Owen Sound piers and breakwalls in the past...... Fresh ones dissolve too quickly.
Cheers,

Dip them in egg yoke and then cover them them in your preferred flavouring, I used a spicy thai fish powder... let them dry and get a tough skin before using them. (I used to sun dry mine, but watch out for seagulls!)
Sorry to bump a old thread but I was wondering if this store is still open?
I ordered a foldable carp net from them last year and I just noticed my net had snapped.
I checked to see their website but it looks like it's down.
Does anyone have a phone number for this shop?
Eli should know. If he hasn't reply in a couple of days, I'll text him to ask.
