Tigers are always hard and if your not careful they eat you

Excellent advice Rainey

Seriously they remain hard and the liquid turns gunky but stick em on the hair and they can slaughter waters

Soak 48 hours.
Boil 30 mins.

I like to freeze straight away, others like to ferment them in the airing cupboard for weeks, months, years.

They will still be tough when prepared, hence there good at avoiding little stuff. Dont go OTT on the freebies, 5 - 10 nuts is all that required most of the time.

If they are already prepaired mate then no need to soak and cook them again. They will always remain quite hard.

Sorry, wasnt paying attention. Indeed, if there dynamite (etc) ones in a tin or tub then there already prepared.

Ok mate, but if you want them snotty then remove the lid of the can or tub and leave in the airing cupboard for 2/3 days..luvverrly

Tigers can be awesome in winter, I was fishing a water a few years ago with next to no winter track record, and took 14 fish from january-march after switching to tigers. Single's mainly, popped up or on the deck, didnt seem to matter. Well fermented seems best though.
