I apologise if this subject has been covered in depth before (likely) but I would be interested in any information people would be happy to share on this subject.
I have taken an interest in trying to catch a big river Roach from the Stour. I will primarily be fishing bread and the stretch is slow and deep ( well known).
My own thoughts are possibly liquidised bread with a bit of gravel in it to get it down though I have heard of punch crumb though never used it. Also there are many proprietary groundbaits out there so it's a case of experimenting and trying them on the fish I guess.
I asked my local tackle dealer for brown crumb and was told he didn't stock it and there were many better groundbaits out there! I plan to get hold of some and mix it with a proprietary groundbait such as Dynamite frenzied hempseed, as recommended by my tackle dealer.
