Nice talk on bread Mark I use it for 95% of my roach fishing and it has caught me some big lumps.

[@waynenippard5933]

The bread master 😉 A bit of fine gravel is good with liquidised to sink it. Good stuff Mark 👍

[@georgs5870]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Breadpunch from 8-12mm on a 12-16 hook is my standard roach bait. Love to use liquidized bread in a micro-cage-feeder with it.

Thanks, Mark!

Had three Roach in three casts from the middle Thames the first week of this December. 2lb,1lb 8oz,1lb 6oz, next Fish was a 4lb 2oz Chub. Bread is always my first go to bait then maggots,caught so many fish on Hovis medium white, loving your videos 👍

[@markhalsey7890]

Never got on with Hovis in any form. Warburtons sliced is good. Tesco white I tried once. No good. Would not fluff up.

[@MarkWintleFishing]

In recent years Hovis Soft White has been my bread of choice. Decades ago I liked Sunblest.

[@Westhamskin]

if you want to get liquidized bread down quick add a fine gravel to it .

Hi Mark learnt some more to add to my bread knowledge, thanks. I think it’s very true particularly on rivers to keep to natural baits, they do work and they are better for the river and wildlife. I just wonder what all these man made baits to the environment besides the plastic packaging they are in.

Hello Mark Excellent Videos. I am looking for information on how to create really good wet bread. I have looked on you tube and have not managed to find any good information. Many thanks.

[@stephenstocks1074]

Does liquidised bread and mole hill soil mix work ?

[@mikeyt7965]

Hi Mark. Having been watching your Roach series with great joy I have a trivial question for you, born of idle curiosity. If you'll forgive me, I imagine there may be few roach anglers more expert than you. Have you ever campaigned in earnest to break the British rod record for roach? If not, why not, and if so, why do you suppose you have not yet held it? Cordially, Mike

[@MarkWintleFishing]

English record roach are rare beasts; one or two fish that have held the record were either hybrids or not even caught on rod and line. The only time I might have had a chance was circa 1989/90 when there were some monsters in the Stour very near to me, with a couple of 4lbers caught including Ray Clarke's record at 4-3 not that I knew it at the time. I did fish swims back then that had 3lbers in with no joy but I was seriously into match fishing back then so that had priority. One or two stillwaters have shown promise in England, Linch Hill for one but I never fished it.
