best dead bait

What is your favorite or best dead baits if you could only use 2 in a session which 2 would you choose?

It seems that every water has its own preferences regarding bait. Over here in Ireland I would have to say on the loughs it would be trout and Roach, and in the rivers trout and lamprey, well for me anyway. Pollan would be a very close 3rd.

Sardines and Roach.
Sardines because I find them to be the ideal size and having caught so many fish from a wide variety of waters they give me total confidence.
Roach for its versatility drift it,ledger it.suspend it or sink and draw.its present in most waters and fairly easy to obtain.

herring,herring,and herring.. and a close 2nd would be sardine's..both very oil'y bait's.

Sardine
(Although Blueys are doing very well for me on most waters now)
Trout

Mackerel and smelt for me.

Brownies and lamprey for me.

i would go sardine and mackerel for moi

Roach and Mackeral

And is that on every water I find a difference from venue to venue, especially because of the species in it naturally.

i just use whatever ive got in my freezer. At the moment I have quite a few roach and some gurnard, sardine,herrings and some lovely little joey mackrel that are no bigger than 6" which I use for sink and draw.

sardine, roach. with mackerel and herring in reserve.

you cant beat a nice tench........................only joking:D
