Not really fill a carp up, it goes in one end, and straight through while continuing to eat. Tigers are also not particularly good for the carp, the only nutrition they can get from them is the surface, once they are eaten, either chewed, crunched or whole, swallowed, they come out exactly as they go in. Obviously most tigers are crunched and broken in the pharyngeal teeth. Tigers can be an addictive food, carp will eat almost nothing else if they are baited in large quantities, hence mixing up with hemp. For one litre tub of hemp, I have a handful of tigers in there. A single tiger on the hair, and a 5 tiger stringer works

I think Nick covered this perfectly👍

Aw ok, I see. Im going to give a stringer a try, it’s something I never think about using. 👍

I’ve had it for about a year now mate, I’m sick of taking mat shots when nobody’s with me or on the lake, that’s why I decided to look into it now. I was reading Terry Hearns book where he says he attached a cork ball onto a hook box then used his knee to press a remote control that he placed in the hook box, I may have to try something like this.

Hi Nube, These certain Baits are shelf life, they will quite sofr, also 12mm on a swivel, I would personal think they will split, I use Bait screws for all my Baits, Pop Ups, wafter, bottom Baits... If ure using 12mm, a thin needle for a hair rig or bait screws would be best. I use the Manilla and keep mine stored in the bag they come in... No air drying or nothing.

Wish I’d checked before I bought it, thanks anyway mate 👍

This is next door finchey, the red dot is where I was sat

As I’ve stated elsewhere, I last fished in oct 2000, I’ve just found this photo from back then, borwick lake near carnforth, I think it’s called birchwood now

You can get quite a bit in a bag, they are well worth the effort, I keep vowing to start using them again this year, they did work well when I did use them I just got lazy 😂 I've found they are best within an hour or two though, so you need to keep rechecking them, that is why I got lazy, gets quite boring making bags up all the time, 😳
