The bait is very important for carpfishing, depending on the type of bait, the size, the quality and above all the taste we can have more success in the fishing sessions.

What are tigernuts for fishing?

Tigernuts are a type of tuber with a great use in carpfishing. The tigernuts serve as bait for the fish, so they will be part of the food of our catches, being very attractive for them. As they have a hard crust, they are not totally digested by the fish, so we should not abuse the tigernuts as a baiting method. Normally, tigernuts are yellowish in color with brown patches and rounded in shape. It will be a bait that will give very good results to our carpfishing sessions. A natural characteristic of the tigernuts for carpfishing is their high sugar content, which makes them irresistible to carp.

What are tigernuts used for in carpfishing?

As tigernuts are part of the wide range of fish bait, they are used to feed the fish and to trick them so that, finally, they get stuck on our hook. Therefore, tigernuts can have two functions: to use them as candidates to create our bait, or, on the other hand, to use them as a posture in the hair of our hook. One aspect to take into account is that we can buy tigernuts raw and cook them ourselves, but it is essential not to forget the cooking step, to make them softer. Tigernuts are also sold already prepared in different colors and flavors.

When is it advisable to use tigernuts for fishing?

A characteristic of tigernuts that should not be overlooked is the hardness of their shell. This particularity has advantages and disadvantages. The first advantage regarding the hardness of the tigernut is the following: it does not suffer the attack of crabs, because being so hard, they cannot easily cut it with their claws to eat it, unlike a boilie. Therefore, tigernuts are not a bait that crabs like, so that in swamps where there are a lot of these crustaceans, it will be useful to use tigernuts as bait, thus making sure that our rod is always fishing and the posture will remain available for our fish. Tigernuts, therefore, are a selective bait. Generally, tigernuts are chosen during the warm weather stage, although they can be used throughout the year. It is in summer when the crabs are most active and there is a possibility that they will attack our bait, being this fact practically impossible if we fish with tigernuts. It is also advisable to use tigernuts for baiting. Normally, there are some mixes on the market, i.e., mixtures containing tigernuts of various sizes in vacuum-packed packages. These are the ones we use for baiting, usually with the help of a boat or a baiting boat. On the other hand, the tigernuts for laying are generally dispensed in the form of plastic jars or glass jars, where they are impregnated with liquids that give them flavor and smell.

Are they a good option to create our feedlot?

Yes, tigernuts are a type of bait that fish like, but they should not be abused for baiting. Because of the above-mentioned characteristic of the hardness of their shell, tigernuts cause a "crunch" effect when they are eaten by carp. The carp's pharyngeal teeth, located in its throat, will crush the tigernut when it is absorbed by the fish, so that the typical sound of a crunchy food is produced, which is attractive and comforting for these animals. In addition, this noise caused by the crushing of the tigernuts can be perceived from long distances by other fish that frequent the area, being these attracted to our feeding place. But the hardness of the tigernuts shell is a double-edged sword. Due to this hardness, the fish will not digest the tigernuts well in their entirety, so they will defecate it in small pieces, which will be available again and serve as food for other fish that surround our feedlot. Thus, extenderThis way, the baiting area will be even more crowded, because the carp, when feeding, will move and defecate the tigernuts fragments in a different place. This can be advantageous, because in this way, we will always keep our feedlot active and the presence of tigernuts will not be missing, but we have to take into account that these tigernuts can damage the intestinal tract of the fish, generating cuts inside it or irritating it, because they are not completely digested. That is why the abuse of tigernuts for fattening is harmful for the fish.
