Depends on how many you think are going to get eaten (ie stock levels in the lake etc).
Safe side would be to get 5kg dry (you will be amazed at the volume of hydrated nuts it produces).
Prep 3kg of dry ....... of which take 2/3rds whole and 1/3rd blended in a mixer. Then take the remaining 2kg dry as spares and prep on bank if needed.

That seems like a lot. How many would you put in around the hookbait and how many after a capture? I was going to get some from AA baits but they are out of stock. Anyone know where I can get some good tigers now?

double tiger hookbait, like to keep my tiger hookbits in a pot of betalin, then 10-20 and some chops around the hook.

Once the tigers are boiled I put mine in an old cool box, keeps thing hot/warm for longer, never used any extra sugar or coke, only seems to not work when the tigers are bad quality.

maybe start with a handful and the same after a capture ........ depends massively on stock and size of fish / time of year. I usually incorporate them with some peanut , chopped tiger and a small particle.

Thanks all I have a better idea of the way to go now.
I'm really struggling to find any available. Anyone know where I can get 5kg of good quality tigers now?

Thanks I've ordered 5kg hope they are ok. It was either that or driving to the tackle box tomorrow on the chance they had stock. I hope I catch on them. Will post on here if I do.

Good luck , the thing with tigers is you can use them in many different ways, stack rigs, balanced etc

Do the tigers go off, is there a shelf life for tigers

The simplest bait ever to prepare.
Soak for 48 hours, boil for 45 mins.
Place in bucket with lid (closed) in a warm place
Approx 48 hours later and you'll have your gloop, if that's your thing...
Personally I make up several 5kg batches and freeze them within a day of boiling - then when I use them, allow them to defrost the night before a session. I've used tigers for nearly 30 years and you really don't need them swimming in their own jizz to be effective. If you want to up the anti, mix in some peanuts, carp go nuts for them
joking aside, where allowed, peanuts are my favourite bait by a country mile. Absolutely rinsed waters using them in combo with tigers.

You can use sugar of all kinds to add goo to peanuts, but you will not be able to generate the same degree of gloop as is the case with tigers, which also ferment (peanuts don't).
