Surface carp, best bait ???

I like to think a nicely baited bread-crust is the best type of off-the-top
carp baits, but for the 1st time, I tried the phoney sweetcorn, used usually
for ledgering, and the amount of 'takes' I had was astonishong, considering
i was 'playin' really. This is one i'll be using again...I still have not
found the best type of bread that has a crust that doesn't split when
threading the hook thro' it, although an unsliced one from asdas comes
pretty close,and like i posted before, some roundish,triangularish, dog
biccys from wilkos that cost about 20p for 200...( If you pour boiling water
on 'em the night before,..drain...wrap in dry newspaper and stand overnight
.... they become hookable, and don't come off with a longish cast.),..also
another from wilkos looks exactly like the 'chum mixer' but costs a lot
less......and 'no' i don't work for wilkos, i don't work period.....All the
best...FRED C
