Tiger nuts XXL 3kg in a bucket

These XXL tiger nuts in a bucket of 3kg are specially selected for their size so that you can fish with large tiger nuts if desired.

Tigernuts are a popular bait among carp anglers due to their effectiveness and appeal to carp.

• Attraction: The natural sweetness and oily scent of tiger nuts attract carp.
• Resistance to smaller fish: The tough texture of tiger nuts makes it difficult for smaller fish to eat them, keeping them intact longer and giving carp the opportunity to find them.
• Digestibility: Carp can digest tiger nuts well, which contributes to their effectiveness as bait.

• To use tiger nuts optimally as bait, they must be properly prepared. Here are the steps for the preparation:
• Soaking: Soak the tiger nuts in water for 24-48 hours. This helps to soften them and prevent them from damaging the carp.
• Cooking: Boil the soaked tiger nuts for about 30-60 minutes until softened. This makes them more attractive to carp and ensures that they are easily digestible.
• Ferment (optional): Leave the cooked tiger nuts in the cooking water for a few days to promote fermentation, which can increase their appeal.

Use of tiger nuts in fishing

• Hooking: Thread one or more tiger nuts onto a hair rig, leaving the hook free for better hooking.
• Feeding spot: Also use tiger nuts as food to create a feeding spot. This can be done by throwing loose tiger nuts into the water or by filling a PVA bag with tiger nuts and throwing it in with your hook bait.
• Combining: Tigernuts can also be combined with other baits such as boilies or pellets to create a more attractive feeding area.

• Variation in presentation: Experiment with different presentations and amounts of tiger nuts to see what works best in your fishing water.
• Location: Choose your fishing location carefully, as carp prefer certain areas in the water, such as areas with shelter or food offerings.
• Patience: Be patient and give the carp time to find the feeding spot and gain confidence in the bait.
