davyboy   17 #1 Posted May 27, 2014 I can't keep bread on the hook. Has anyone advice on how to do it...size of hook, type of bread? I go pleasure fishing and the usual carp are a max of 12lbs or so, mainly 5-6 lbs. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
chidorii   10 #2 Posted May 28, 2014 Ledgering...I have been using the orange packet Warburtons loaf. The really stretchy one, taking a chunk including some crust , flattening it a bit then using a 'bandit' and bait band, seems to work fine and good casting distance. Hook size I cannot give much advice on a I'm still playing about with that.  Surface fishing.. I haven't done much recently tbh.

megalithic   10 #3 Posted May 28, 2014 Use stale bread that's been left out to dry. If you have none then break some up into hook sized chunks and pop it in a very low oven leaving the door open. Transport it in a plastic container rather than a bag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
pitsmoorlad   10 #4 Posted May 29, 2014 For surface fishing I take a chunk or decent piece of a slice, and lay the hook (10 or 12, can be bigger but not smaller than this) about 1/2 way into the bread. Then fold the bread over the hook and squeeze it onto the shank. This provides a good hold on the hook, and leaves a lot of bread available for the fish. Good Luck.

animal2477 Â Â 10 #6 Posted May 29, 2014 Take the middle of the slice out and roll it like a cig then pull your hook up in to the bottom use around a size 12 or 10 if permitted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

PRESLEY Â Â 1,201 #8 Posted June 21, 2014 Just take a piece out of the middle and just pinch it around the shaft of the hook, and then just a nice steady cast, simples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
