Bread 'Fake'

Individually crafted pieces of flake made from our new HNV paste mix then steamed to lock in the cheese and garlic flavour for optimum attraction. At last you can trot a piece of flake or fish it on the bottom without fear of the bait being nibbled away by nuisance fish. You can fish on knowing that your bait will still be there even if you miss a tentitive bite, no more reeling in to attach another piece of fresh flake! The bait is pliable enough to mount directly onto the hook or better still on the hair. As the baits are steamed rather than boiled, the flavour and attractor levels are much higher making them ideal for attracting chub for example when trotting. Initially these hook baits are available fresh for freezing only, but we shall be offering shelf life baits soon.

That Darren is absolutely brilliant, I`ll definitely be in the market to have a go with that.

I think you may have a real chub fishing classic there.

Alright Mic?

Yes thought it might be of interest to you. Its one of the major reasons I never use real flake for fear of sitting there on the bank not knowing if the bait has been nibbled away by minnows or not! The good thing is that because these are steamed, they are firm and pliable so you can still alter them by nipping off bits here and there to change the size or shape of the bait. I am going to offer this in all of the flavours currently available in my range and also bespoke flavours as well (depending on order quantity of course). Will we be seeing you at the c.s.g. get-together on the Wye?

Hello Darren

I was hoping to attend but as usual I left it late trying to book accommodation and couldn`t find anything in Bredwardine. I didn`t fancy staying out of the town and having to fanny around in the evenings backwards and forwards between lodgings and where all the fun is. So as usual I`ve thrown my toys out the pram and stopped looking for somewhere to stay, that almost certainly means I won`t be in attendance unfortunately and have provisionally opted for a family piss up in Cardiff that weekend instead.

All that aside I still think that your bread "fake" is a blinding bit of tom foolery and will chat to you about acquiring some.

Mic,
Re: CSG AGM, I can probably still get you in if you're still interested? Let me know if you still want to go.

Darren,
Re: Bread 'fake', a really interesting concept. I'm often a little sceptical of things that try to beat the 'real thing', but it looks a really promising idea!

There is a weird symmetry that goes on some times when things just seem to coincidentally mesh together. I have been playing around with presenting PVA bags of flavoured liquidised bread with small white pop ups or bottom baits as another way of presenting a highly visual bait set up without putting in so much bait as to attract the Swarms of Thames bream.

I think these baits might just be an important step forward to making this method work. I`ll definitely be giving them a go.

Hi Mic

Sounds like it could be a winner! How about a small pva bag of liquidised bread with a broken up piece of bread fake incorporated into it, then 'fake' as a hook bait?

Well done to Eric Roberts for catching a superb barbel of 14lb 2oz on bread 'fake', or as he calls it garlic bread.
