Will crays eat tiger nuts? I'm fishing a lake infested with them it's a nightmare, tried that Korda shrink wrap stuff but looks so crude. Was fishing plastics on a Ronnie but think it's to blatant, iv only found 1 plastic pop up that's a natural colour from
ESP, the lake is low stocked around 20 fish max

There is no hard and fast rule, on some lakes they leave tigers alone and on others they they will take them.
If you are feeding multiple bait items the crays will often go for easier to eat items first the only way you will find out is to try them

I found they mostly leave them alone

Use hemp and/or particle mix as a background feed. Don't use tigers !!!!!

Crays will eat tigers no question. Glugged drill wooden balls are you're best bet used on a still material that can reset after being picked up.

Depends on the species of crays. Red signal will 100% eat your tigers, peanuts and even have a go at plastic corn.

I've just purchased ESP's imitation boilies they do. They are certainly on the small side though, which is a pain as the Tench in my little silty "guesting" pond go on a mad one after dark.

Use double baits to help avoid your tench.

Found the ESP imitation baits too soft the crays are really bad, they can still take chunks out of them. Enterprise are the ones
Are you sure?
