A soft white pre- sliced loaf. I use a small Warburtons but other brands will do. Keep the plastic bread bag shut while fishing otherwise the bread will dry out.

All my Chubbing bread flake is Warburtons Toastie and any cheapie for liquidising in the feeder.

Any reasonably fresh medium sliced white will do, the cheaper the better.

No need to over complicate matters.The beauty of bread fishing is its simplicity.

A few slices of white, a little bit of mash and you can catch nearly everything in the river for pennies.

Got to disagree with you hereNigel cheap bread is an absolute nightmare for staying on the hook and will frequently fall off while making long cast.
