Egg Cure Colors

[RipDatLip]

If you could choose any color to cure your eggs what would it be? Does one color outperform others? I don't have knowledge in this area, but am interested in learning. So... what's the color? Red? Orange? Maybe a mix?

I seem to have the best luck on steelhead with a natural color (orangeish)how's that for a word,and Salmon seem to like the (reddish)color.But to make it even more confusing I've caught both fish on both colors,steelhead I have done better with a natural color.I've bought some of Amerman,s
cure in both the red and orange I'll use that for winter steelhead untill I get lucky enough to catch a hen then I'll just borax hers and use them right away,thats the best bait.Didn't really answer your question but I feel better for trying [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

For 12 years now I have used ROCKET RED color by Mr. Sure Cure, but now I want to switch to FLAME, Mr. Sure Cure.

The color GLOWS~ and I like that!

Thanks for asking,

I like Cliniques Ruby red, or Estee Lauders Mango Glaze, but a little Bonnie Bell pink shunshine mixed with a little Mabelines frosty peach sometimes is a go.

The dye I use in my main two cures has a fair amount of blue in it. This is because I do alot of bobber fishing in tidewater and the blue/purple color is more visable. The light waves are longer and penetrate deeper into the murk. I have been experminentating with some fairly radical colors this year, results not in so I will not say anything else. Most of the commerical cures with the basic red are an effective color for salmon. Scott A uses a good dye for salmon in his cure. Steelhead will usually prefer a more orange color unless the water has color then the red works better.

I have recently started using Scott A's orange color on nooks and must say it's my favorite color so far. Next favorite is pro-cure redd hot double stuff.

That color question again. Add your color with the okies and keep them natural and dye as you need. Those glowing colors are pretty cool though. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I'm partial to the Pro-Cure Redd Hott Double Stuff followed by rocket redd.

Yep, that color question again... I'm asking because I plan on buying some cure, for whenever I catch that big fish...

I tend to have the most confidence with orange -- Pro-cure flame orange -- or some name like that.

Right, now I have some eggs curing in Amerman's salmon cure / orange, and I look forward to seeing how they finish up, and of course, how they fish.

I see that there are a lot of different opinions on this topic. Is there a reason behind one color outproducing the other? I'm getting the hint that natural is better.
