What weight of lead should I use in my pva bags when Carp fishing?

I fished for years with the wrong lead weights in my pva bags.
It wasn't until I was feeling for a drop that I suddenly realised I was wasting my time with 1.5oz & 2oz lead.
Not only can I get some feedback from my rod tip by using 3oz but the bag casts better and sinks faster. There is also better hooking capabilities.

A very good question pal i use heavy leads if im boating a solid bag out and always fish it drop off because a big lead and short bag rig in my opinion aid the carps chance of throwing the hook if im casting bags i use small bags with a 1.5 oz or 2oz lead as i can chuck that a fair distance if required also i prefer leaders over tubing but as we know not always allowed and in my opinion big leads dropoff style are perfectly suited to leaders ive actually been using solid bags a lot more this last year anyway great video hope your well cheers and tightlines

Some people will double bag so it takes longer to dissolve and then negate the need for a larger lead. I use 1.5oz leads in my bags, but the water I'm fishing isn't very deep tbf. Plus you have to take into account the weight of a finished bag, a 3oz lead and a big bag full will probly weigh near to 4oz. You can use some kitchen scales and see what your bags weigh and then know what kind of rod your going to require to chuck the bag, depending on distance required etc..
