Outstanding been doing chunks since late 1970's exactly I actually butterfly and set on towels then do what u do and they look just like that key is like u said add scents just before u cast them if needed
Do you recommend same process for other trout/salmon species roe? I always fish loose eggs in sacs I’ve never used eggs from a skein in a sac.... guess there wouldn’t be much of a difference thi
Anthony Allen NO rinsing that's a bad thing as it will make the eggs start to milk before you use them. I know someone fishing salmon eggs 5 yrs old and caught fish on them last week,.
snowboarder450 yes and no, if you cut them into chunks and freeze as sacs the liquid displaced from the eggs solidifying will vary the sac size. .... Freeze in small portions and then take what you need and then tie the night before or on the bank like I do so you don't waste eggs on colors that don't work, if you wade and cant leave your spot then tie up the night before. .... Hope this helps
There isn't really a "color" that doesn't work however its more of a patterning the colors to the weather and water clarity to produce strikes..... and that just takes time and practice/trail and error
So when it comes to loose eggs I don’t use borax. I use a cure called Clearwater cure. I have found that the borax on single eggs dries them out to much. If you add more you’ll dry them out in my opinion. Hope that helps
yes it will but borax on a single egg can be a little much. I use a different cure for single eggs called Clearwater Cure..... that stuff is AMAZING !!!! but Borax and or Pautzke for the in skein version !!!!!
Hey man great stuff ! Do you leave in the bag and never take out after to rack dry ? And did you leave the bag in the fridge for 12 hrs after the 1 st hr in room temperature? Thanks !
CenterpinAddicts I suppose you like your to milk more then ? Ifrom what I've gathered is if you want em to milk easy then don't rack dry but if like stiffer less goopy then rack dry or paper towel dry .
Absolutely, any egg can have the borax done, however that being said Clearwater cure is our preference when it comes to loose eggs for a phenomenal cure.
Just subscribed , I love centerpin fishing I'm definitely addicted to it

Can you add color cure afterwards are would I have to do that in the first step when you put the borax
Do you always use only the Borax or do you sometimes use a Borax/salt/sugar mix? Jello gelatin can add sweetness and firm them up too.
Who ever thought to putting borax on roe is what I wanna know and I suddenly feel like a rum and coke😉
do you add scent or color at a times???I like the easiness to what you have shown.I heard you can add sugar and salt as well.
Trouta Holic We don't usually add scent or color as you can add it at the time of use. I know a few people who do add the color for multi color sac's
thanks
Do you not rinse them off before using?
How long will they keep when frozen? Do you add any flavor/scent enhancers? Do you rinse them when getting ready to use?

How do u clearwater cure
How long do they stay in the fridge to cure before using? 24-48 hours?
I've seen other guys, up here in the upper penninsula, rinse the cured eggs in cold water before using them for fishing. is this necessary?
No I dont think so and I prefer to leave it all in there for a scent trail especially for night fishing.
Can you please make a video on how to cure loose king salmon eggs with a Clearwater cure.
hey after you cure and let the eggs sit can u cut them into chunks and tie them into sacks before you freeze

They highly recommend against using mule team borax for eggs it has more chemicals than just regular fisherman's borax that an it has a scent
What happens if you cure your eggs (single) and they are soft? Will adding borax help make them harder?

no as allowing the skein to dry some prevents runny soft eggs in my personal opinion. yup right in the fridge if possible.

can you use this for a steelhead egg cure as well. or just Salmon eggs???
Use borax and orange jello for steelhead. They love it
Can you do these with loose eggs cuz that's what I have I was just wondering if it will work that way
Absolutely, any egg can have the borax done, however that being said Clearwater cure is our preference when it comes to loose eggs for a phenomenal cure.
Thx that will be useful to know
Save a lot of time pre cut all ur cube PCs toss in a gallon ziplock toss in borax do a shake n bake and ur set
What do you think the refrigerator shelf life is for a cured skein? GREAT VIDEO, FISH ON 🎣
