You can also use ground tigers to make tiger nut flour. Use a coffee grinder to reduce whole fresh tiger nuts to a 30-mesh flour. This can be used as part of a boilie base mix recipe or used 50/50 with other ingredients such as Red Factor or SuperRed to make groundbait or boiled baits. Or maybe you prefer to use paste? No problem. Simply mix ground tiger nuts with an equal amount of ground SuperRed or Red Factor. Add still further to the overall attraction by also sneaking in 10% Robin Red.

Here's a sneaky little wheeze. In this pic I have used the paste as a hookbait wrap covering both the hook and the hookbait.  No doubt you are now throwing up your hands in horror…how's that going to hook a carp? Well believe me, it does. You see, as the paste starts to soften it becomes soft enough to allow the angler to hit the run and the hook can pull through the paste with ease. In addition the carp are much less suspicious of the rig as it is encased in paste and largely undetectable. Believe me, they really do take off when they realise they have been trickled.

You should now have created a paste bait that can be rolled into paste balls, which can then be fired out using a catapult or groundbait sling.
