Never used tiger nuts before and don't really know how to prepare so I bought a jar of the dynamite baits prepared tigers. How do I know if they have gone off and they are no good anymore?

When I open the jar they have scummy like stuff on the top and smell abit sour. To me I would say they have passed their best but as I am not experienced using them I don't know 😫

Use the particle prep guide in the bait section, very straightforward 👍

Some people probably have tuber allergies
Bad practice to advise tasting on a public forum 😂
Modern day dilemmas
As already said “taste em”

I'd say bin them. But if your really tight you could wash them of in water and reuse them. Still catch you a Fish or two.

My favourite bait - use them everywhere I can... better to buy dry and prepare yourself - much cheaper and you know they're 100% fish friendly.
I soak them in water for 48 hours, then boil for 45 minutes, then soak for another 24 hours - then freeze down. I prepare them in 5kg batches. When I need some bait, I just take a bag from the freezer and thaw out overnight in a bucket of warm tap water. with some Talin added to it (from AA Baits).
Carp love tigers

Hi Mart
When I was fishing Eastern Europe tigers were pretty much the go to bait just before the freeze. The only point I would make is we found soaking and boiling worked best. If you let them ferment and get that gloopy sugary goo around them did not work well in cold water for us

Some hemp or buckwheat with a some sparkles of sweet corn and tigers is just an excellent combo

a wonderful bait
little nutritional value, but carp love them
i personally soak them from dry in full fat Coca cola (i have no idea why people refer coke to full fat
)

Full fat sounds more carpy
A bit like saying diet McDonald's or diet KFC, better for you but doesn't sound or taste as nice, or sell as much!

Iirc the “full fat” coke is actually better for you (if drinking acid can be good for you - dilute with Vodka or Rum 😉 ) than Diet
