I, like many other anglers have an affinity with bread flake, it is one of the best all round fish catchers in the anglers bait armoury yet there are less and less anglers using it. I see todays anglers preferring to use more "modern" bait such as pellets or highly expensive boilies from the mini to the football size which do have the benefit if remaining on the hook a long time but are they necessarily better I wonder. (I am not talking fishing for big carp here)
On canals, river or on a lake bread flake is very effective as is the punched bread which is normally associated with match angling but is just as effective on a river for roach and chub. I know that many anglers have no confidence in flake remaining on the hook especially on a flowing river but with a little perseverance catching a few fish will soon dispel that idea. Yes it is hard work having to rebait every couple of minutes or every swim down on a river but the rewards can be astonishing.
For those that do have little confidence in flake remaining on the hook and prefer not to try it for that reason alone maybe a look at this video of the new magic bread will inspire them to give it a go and I am absolutely positive that you will come to appreciate why users of flake always sing its praises.
