NASH Floating Tiger Nut — Artificial Tiger Nuts

Product benefits

Designed for modern carp fishing, the NASH Floating Tiger Nut is a floating plastic carp bait that faithfully mimics the appearance and bulk of a real tiger nut. Its controlled buoyancy makes it easy to create balanced presentations, whether used in a snowman rig or simply as a floating seed above your bottom bait. Because it is artificial, the bait stays in place far longer than natural seeds, even under pressure from nuisance species.

This artificial tiger nut is an ideal solution on waters where crayfish, catfish and other nuisance species quickly destroy conventional baits. Resistant to repeated attacks, it retains its attractiveness over hours, ensuring a consistently fishable presentation. Its fine finish reproduces the tones and irregularities of a real seed, increasing both angler confidence and acceptance from wary carp.

Reusable and easy to rig, the Floating Tiger Nut fits most carp rigs. It can be used alone, combined with real seeds, or integrated into a balanced rig with boilies to vary visual and mechanical signals. It is a major asset for anglers seeking a durable, discreet and highly visible carp bait.

Like all plastic baits from the brand, the NASH Floating Tiger Nut can be soaked, coated or sprayed with your preferred liquids and additives to boost attractiveness. For example, pairing it with a sugar-rich liquid or flavouring gives you an artificial seed with the same taste and scent as your groundbait, strengthening presentation consistency and fish confidence.

Technical specifications

• Realistic tiger nut imitation: shape and appearance designed to blend with natural seeds in your groundbait.
• Long-lasting buoyancy: synthetic material engineered to remain buoyant and allow balanced presentations through long sessions.
• Reusable bait: resists repeated casts, fish attacks and handling for use across multiple sessions.
• Compatible with many carp rigs: ideal on hair rigs, combi-rigs, balanced rigs or wafters presentations.
• Attraction customisable: can be soaked in liquids, boosters, dips and sprays without degrading.

Advantages and key strengths

The main advantage of this floating artificial tiger nut lies in its ability to remain fishable when natural baits fail. Where crayfish and other nuisances nibble or move traditional seeds, the Floating Tiger Nut keeps its shape and buoyancy, holding the trap in the target area. You can therefore leave your rig in place longer, increasing your chances of a bite during waiting sessions or long nights.

Another strength is its versatility. The same bait can be presented as a single seed isolated above a particle bed, as a slightly lifted seed imitation, or paired with a dense boilie to create a perfectly balanced rig. This flexibility lets you adapt the presentation to fish behavior without changing bait type and offers many options to refine your approach on heavily fished waters.

The Floating Tiger Nut is also attractive from an economical and practical standpoint. Reusable, it reduces bait consumption and the need to replace baits on the line frequently. It is easy to carry, does not spin and requires no special preparation before fishing, unlike natural seeds that need soaking and cooking. It is therefore a reliable solution to always have a ready-to-use carp bait on hand.

Usage tips

To get the most from this floating plastic carp bait, pair it with a coherent groundbait strategy. Use it as an isolated seed or alongside your particles to create a slightly lifted visual point above the bottom. Adjust the hair rig length so the hook sits correctly in relation to the bait, depending on fishing pressure and fish wariness.

If you want to alter buoyancy, complement your rig with suitable accessories such as putty or small rig elements to counterbalance the bait's lift. This lets you achieve a very subtle wafter effect, or conversely a seed that sits clearly off the bottom to hover over obstacles and debris.

Before each session, consider soaking your artificial tiger nuts in a liquid booster or sweet attractant. A few hours of soaking is usually enough to charge the bait with aromas without affecting buoyancy. You can also vary shapes and bait types around the rig to maximise the imitation effect of this floating model and enhance contrast with other particles in your swim.

FAQ

Question 1 : Can I use the Floating Tiger Nut alone, without other bait on the rig?

Answer: Yes, this artificial tiger nut can be used alone as the main bait. It is often even more effective when presented above a bed of seeds or boilies, where it blends with distributed baits while remaining ideally presented.

Question 2 : Does the bait retain buoyancy after multiple uses and soakings in liquids?

Answer: The Floating Tiger Nut is made from a durable buoyant material designed to withstand repeated immersions in attractants and successive sessions. It is nevertheless recommended to check the presentation in a bucket or at the water's edge before casting to adjust your rig balance if necessary.
