ANYBODY OUT THERE?

or is this question too stupid to reply too lol

[aphplumb12]

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.

[tenchmaster]

ya they are gloopy

[aphplumb12]

they are good to use i would freeze what you wont need and use what you do i freez mine in half kilo batches

[gaskilm]

from past experience when in a gloopy state, I drain the liquid and add loads of small pellet for 'balling' in, then with the tigers use a pouch per 30 mins and build the swim up, or prebait with a kilo every other day, then use PVA bagged Tigers with double hookbait counter balanced with cork plug inserts so 'wafter style' and shoould be okay over 20 baits.....and ball in pellets wrapped in the glupe!!
how is the tigers now catching - any look?

a kilo every other day?? too much in my opinion!!! they only really need to be used in small quantities...

Would agree there mate I use them all the time and on my last session which was in France a few weeks ago I got through a Kilo in a week and thats over 4 Rods. Heavy use of them can be detrimental to the fish IMO anyway.

I use tigers on my water but am worried on how much to use, i usually put 6-7 in a pva bag with pellets and do the same for each cast

[Chesh]

thats alright matey... wouldnt go over board like a kg at a time.. i went last week.. double tiger on hair and about 10 sctattered around it

Only Tigers Have The Answer

[booth91]

yeh a light scattering is just about right id say.

double tiger on the hair. with a handful of chopped tigers and about 10 whole tigers scattered around.

with a pva bag of chopped glugged in mainline tigernut juice. mmmmmmmmm
