Good morning all,
I'm looking to purchase some tiger slime, I'm not really interested in the tigers really but wanted to add some tiger slime into my mix. Does anyone know where you can purchase this please?
Cheers,
Ash

Apart from Angling shops, delis sometimes stock it and you can make your own, search horchata de chufa
There are different types, some with added ingredients, obv looking for the thicker yellow stuff, sometimes sold as concentrate/cordial/

Unless you mean fermented tigernut snot..Horchata de Chuffa,

you could pick it up in the UK about 15 years ago, I believe it was branded as MIAM and then one of the bait companies..maybe Solar? cornered the bottled imports, relabelled it and doubled the price.
Used it back then in boilies and particles, made boilie rolling very sticky and tbh I thought condensed milk and tigernut flour did the same job

I'm sure that was the stuff I used, used to buy it in boxes of 6, glass bottles, it was nice as a drink too when watered down with milk.

Ideally I was thinking of a consistency like fermented tiger slime! I don't know if I could get that other than making it myself boiling tigers? Do you think any other company's would do think fermented stuff? The hinders stuff looks good but is preserved / pva friendly?

Tigernut extract. Google it. Plenty of suppliers.

Probably as cheap to prep your own nuts to get the spunk and chuck them in as prebait or give them to someone.

The problem with that for me, It'd be one for the fish, one for me
don't fancy the after effects though based on Carps vents that have been munching on them

It's certainly a tasty drink.

Thanks for the links guys! Does anyone know if I prepare some tigers how long the slime would last if I separated it from the tigers please?

Freeze it if you want it fresh or let it mature for a few months to go extra funky👌

A few days Ash. Even freezing it on it's own, once it comes out of the freezer it is not the same. It's lost it's active element & returned to a thin liquid. What you are describing regarding the slime, is zero like what you will buy in a bottle. Not even in the same stratosphere.
You can prepare small amounts of tigers very easily to have the slime very active for when you go fishing. Once you get the hang of it, it's so easy to make sure you have what you want for the time you go fishing. It's so easy to prepare. Water, tigers, a bit of sugar.
It's just one of those things that you cannot bottle. It's super time specific. It's at it's very most potent for three days after they first slime up.Then it starts going backwards in terms of attraction. The tigers will still be great. But if talking about the active slime, that's a part of the tigers fermenting. You cannot buy that in a bottle. It's based on water essentially, and unfortunately the water will spoil which stops the ferment & sends it backwards. If you add stuff to preserve the water, it will kill the ferment in the first place. I might be wrong but that's what I have always found and I've played with the stuff my whole angling life. You can change the water to keep the actual tigers fresh for many years. It's the water which goes off essentially first, then sending the tigers. Keep the water fresh, the tigers will remain fresh. But you only get that slime fermenting the very first time you do them. After changing the water it's never going to happen again. The tiger has shot it's bolt in essence regarding all of that above.
If you could bottle the active bubbling slime and stop it going backwards after the peak of the fermentation, trust me we would be selling it. The concentrate/milk stuff you do buy in a bottle is NOTHING in comparison to the real thing in terms of pure attraction to a carp. Not saying it's not great and does not work... But it's not the slime that you are referring too.
No one uses tigers in the winter. The active slime is the very best cold water attraction for a carp that there is. It even trumps sweetcorn in cold water IMO. Not the actual tiger, the active slime.
Boil your tigers. Pour into a bucket. Add a handful of brown sugar while red hot. Put the lid on and leave. You can do it without any sugar whatsoever if you want, but I like to sweeten the slime. Sugar does this and will only enhance the ferment, not kill it.
