Ammerman Steelhead Cure??

[GL2]

I was in GI Joes checking out the Ammerman Steelhead cure.
The lable said the cure "should be kept in a freezer, so the cure didn't draw moisture. If it drew moisture it would turn clummpy & rocky".
Well the steelhead cure was clumpy and the salmon cure was fine. I didn't buy the Steelhead cure cuz I thought it looked toast!
Whats the deal did I do right or should I have used it??
Since I've never cured eggs I don't have a clue.

I've never been a egg fisher. I use shrimp, corkies, spinners, spoons. But, not even once a year eggs. I've never got into curing eggs or fishing them cuz, I stuck with what I know.
Well I decided to branch out, eggs and bobber and jigs.
A while back I bought me a quart of Ammerman Salmon eggs.
For $24.95 I thought they better be darn good!
Well this moring I went coastal and took a skien of eggs.
I banked a chrome hen steelie on a pink thumper.
I move down to the next spot, and go to the Ammerman eggs. Bout 5th cast I hook a dark 30# plus nook. He breaks me off.
I bait back up and 2nd cast I come up with 13# plus winter rocket. This fish took line at will and flew up river. I was awestruck, just standing still. I woke up and realized I'd better start running up stream, If I want to see this fish again. As I'm heading up I'm thinking it's way too early for a nate?? Up at the next hole I went the rounds with this guy. I couldn't believe what this fish had for me. This fish was what winters are all about. I didn't want to tag out so early,
but the fish had a spell on me.
So I cast 7 times and baited up twice with the eggs, hooked two fish. Good deal!
So a few more questions>.

1. Does it matter if you use salmon eggs or steelhead eggs when fishing for steelhead.
2. Salmon Cure or Steelhead cure does it matter?

You can use salmon and steelie eggs.Coho eggs are the best with winters my next choice.There is a difference in the cures amerman sells,He says steelhead carry different cravings than salmon,Thus a different cure.I use them and have had good success with them.Don't bother buting the clumpy cure get some fresh and keep it in the freeze.Bleed your fish and cure eggs as soon as possible.There are some steps on how to cure them on the front page by amerman.

Heres one for you I mix there cure with a little warm water and do artic shrimp. After I mix up the cure I fill small Ball Jars with headless shrimp then I add the mix and put a candle in the jar,light it and scew on the lid.It works I have had Steelies on the Santiam ripe these up.Rusty netted one for me the other day and I threw him the sacle it weighed out at 18 pounds the biggest one for me so far,play with the cures youll be amazed.I have used there eggs and cures and love them I just wish they would sell smaller sizes in there eggs.
