Bread

[Lord Paul of Sheffield]

What bread is the best for surface fishing?

I've been told Warburtons is the best - what do you recomend?

[steph mckenzie]

I was always under the impression that uncut tin baked loafs were better for surface fishing, just from what i've read and videos i've seen, they do tend to favour the uncut bread.

If it is sliced bread then Warburtons or Hovis ... you could try Kingsmill 50/50 i've heard good reviews about that.

Most carp I find aren't prone to advertising.
I go for fresh as poss on the hook, usually uncut so I can choose flake or crust. Really dry old bread can be great as feed on the top. It bugs the hell out of them cos they can't tear it apart. When they encounter a soft fluffy lump they often gulp and go. Close in I like to fish a centrepin on the rest and they will often self hook.

Ditto.

Can`t really add anything else, only tried surface fishing once and I used a pop-up boilie.

Avoid the super-long-life jobs, the fish do...
Warbie's for choice.

A freshly-baked, uncut loaf that has the crunchiest crust you can find.

warburtons or kingsmill 50/50,but fresh baked seems the better as more choice,flake,crust etc etc

The cheese flavoured speciality bread from Sainsbury's, a bit different to the norm but the carp seem to approve.

[Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC)]

Whatbys definitely the one for me.

I use an uncut loaf but have resorted to fruit bread, sultana scones, malt loaf. I like the uncut Irish soda bread best, with a French stick coming in second.
