A. Actually, bread is a great bait for fish like catfish, suckers, and carp.

Which is better liquidised bread or mashed bread?
Getting bread to the bottom in a flow is a whole “nuther” matter, liquidised is not the best way except in feeders, and if you use a dropper, best check in the margins that your feed isn’t going to float on release… Mashed is usally simpler. Plus gravel, if necessary.
How do you get bread down a canal?
