Tigernuts have long been a staple bait in carp fishing, renowned for their natural appeal and effectiveness.
Traditionally, boiled tigernuts are used as sinking hookbaits, offering an organic and highly attractive feeding option for carp. Until now, floating tigernuts were only available as synthetic imitations. Energofish has changed this with the introduction of the Benzar Mix TigAir Nut, the world’s first 100% natural floating tigernut.
Energofish invested years of research into developing a fully buoyant, all-natural tigernut that combines the advantages of traditional baits with the efficiency of modern pop-ups. The key innovation lies in the precise balance of cooking and freeze-drying technology (lyophilisation).
Lyophilisation is a process widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries to preserve organic materials without compromising their structure.
In a multi-stage cycle:
- The tigernuts are carefully boiled to achieve optimal texture and flavour while retaining their natural attractants;
- They undergo controlled freeze-drying, where water is removed at ultra-low temperatures, preventing cellular damage while maintaining the structure of the nut;
- The process results in a lightweight, porous bait that remains buoyant for extended periods while preserving its natural nutritional value.
Energofish Managing Director Istvan Pal told Angling International: “The unique material transformation of the TigAir Nut guarantees approximately 10-12 hours of consistent buoyancy, providing anglers with a reliable floating bait option. Beyond this period, the tigernuts gradually absorb water, entering a suspending phase, where they hover neutrally before eventually sinking.”
- 95% of TigAir Nuts maintain full buoyancy for 12 hours
- 30% remain capable of lifting the hook for up to 15 hours
This gradual transition ensures maximum adaptability for anglers who seek the perfect presentation throughout a long session.
