?Farka? : The best mullet bait secret.   

"Method:   

First and foremost the bread roll has to be the type rolled in snail shell form, one which has been formed in the shape of a snails shell. Fresh and cooked at the bakers, place the fresh roll in luke warm water and let the roll absorb the warm water, one can also use warm milk. Once soaked remove roll from liquid and without damaging the roll gently squeeze the roll between your hands slowly and gently removing the access liquid. Open out the dough to its original shape before its was formed into a snail like roll. This should look like a long sausage form length of dough. Prepare a dry towel and wrap the dough into the towel gently removing more of the liquid absorbed by the bread. Remove from the first towel and wrap into a second towel, leave roll wrapped in towel, place into a plastic bag and put into the refrigerator over night. The result will be a long length of stringy bread, with your fingers pick and pull a short length of this bread and hook it onto your hook as you would hook a worm. Leave some extra length hanging below the hook. The bread becomes very rubbery like when left overnight in the fridge and is presented excellently in the sea. Use the remaining liquid \ milk to add to your ground bait.

Try this, it really works well, as good as if not better than fresh sliced bread pinched on the hook. Which by the way is my second best option. It takes a while to get it right but once you get used to it you will not go back to anything else.

Very good explanation rammx but it's a bit complicated this...What you can also do is buy a french sliced bread (tat toast) and either soak in some water and press on a dry cloth..then cut into small strips and leave in fridge overnight or else do this without refridgerating overnight (On the place where you would be fishing) ..then roll the strips up with your fingers and pass the hook trough it. good luck

best bread that u can use for farka are those "immaljati". If someone can translate the word "immaljati" is better since I don't know it in english

[SPITEC]

Try to post a picture Aab131 when you will be using it again so everyone will understand the type of bread.I can't help since I don't use it and never did it.

Immaljati in english is woven!....but i don't think this applies to what you were trying to express here.  try elaboraating further what you mean.
