Paste

Picture
Paste is one of the summer's top polefishing baits. Right now, anglers who've got the bait worked out will be bagging up almost every time they put a line in the water. In waters containing a variety of carp, from small fish to lumps, it's the specimens that home in on a soft, smelly lump of paste. The major problem for newcomers to paste fishing is mixing it to the correct texture. All too often they make paste that is to soft and it falls off the hook before you get it in the water, or it is so stiff that you miss bites because the  hook  can't pull through the bait.

Bread paste is made from the inside of a stale uncut loaf and place in a cloth and wetted down then all the exess water is squeezed out. The bread is then kneaded into a smooth textured paste, if you find that the bread is still a little stiff add more water if too wet add more bread. The paste should be able to with stand casting and retriving, you can add flavorings to the bread kneading eg. custard powder, honey, suger, food flavorings.
