no mate this is not a stupid question they are in there prime but they are fermenting like beer they should be all glupy and slimey now.when i preapre mine i usally get them to about this stage.
soak for 3 days.
boil for 30 mins.
soak for another 2 days.
they go all slimey and glupy the way they should be realesing all the sugars and most importantly expanding to ther full capacity. i freeze what i wont be using for the weekend until next time i go you dont need loads of tigers just a couple for the hook and a couple of handfulls for each rod.
