i've used amermans for steelie and salmon both work great , i also tried mad wiz in lava orange and it seem to look and work well .......so your guess is as good as mine as long as it cures it and you can catch fish it works !

Good Question Tim [img]graemlins/icon_argue.gif[/img]

Quick Cure, Pro Cure Wizard or Amermans?

I saw days this fall when each one outperformed the other two. I'm just trying to figure out why? I'm thinkin it's the scent added to the eggs that really makes the difference.

Any opinions?

Timber · 11-20-2002, 07:40 PM

you've got a good point I make it a point to take three different flavors with me whether I fish for salmon or steelhead and different scents added to each. Tim

Oregon eggs cure is the one for me. the wet pac for salmon and the dry pac for steelhead.

RogueFishr · 11-20-2002, 09:47 PM

where is Oregon Egg Cure available from? And also Shur Cure? I am in Southern Oregon, and the only thing available is Pro Cure.

Rogue fishr Shur-cure is all over the n. coast up here. I also heard GI Joe's is carrying it to.If you can't find it anywhere email me and I will see to it you can get some shipped down. the oregon cure is made and sold at the Guide shop I have heard it is good stuff but I haven't tried it as I cure most of mine with a home brew.

proGlo by Beau-Mac's or Amermans have done very well for me... both are low maintanance w/ great color and good results (on the river that is)

FastAction · 11-21-2002, 01:02 PM

Something I use is Ground shrimp powder. It is usually in the mexican food section of the grocery store. Sprinkle that over your eggs then sprinkle your favorite cure and the shrimp gets in the eggs(osmosis)... Try it, I couldn't keep the steelies off my eggs this fall!

RogueFishr · 11-21-2002, 02:26 PM

Thanks for the offer Timber. If I can't find some down here at G.I.Joes I will take you up on that.

thanks again,
RF

I am an amerman's cure believer. I used it for the first time this year and it really worked. to the point where my dad (old and set in his ways) about ******* when I was out fishing him 2 to 1 with em. rigged the same way, fishing in the same spot. This was the first time he charged me for gas, it cost me a pint of eggs

Its easy to use, BUT, I leaned the hard way to wear latex gloves. :shocked:

Applegate · 11-21-2002, 04:01 PM

If borax is a commercial cure, then thats the only one to use for steelhead down here. Fall salmon I like Quick cure in red, orange. and blend. The springer cure is a secret! :grin:

Captain and Marie · 11-21-2002, 06:26 PM

My .02 cents worth...

I've been using Mr. Shur Cure since the beginning of time...

I figure ALL my eggs turn out great, so why change!

I like the way they turn out! Everytime!

So will you ! Mr. Shur Cure is the way to go!

I sell it at my bait shop. Call me if interested.

CC I've got to agree with you I started fishing with a guy last winter that used straight borax on his steelhead eggs and boy they ate them.

Pan Fry · 11-21-2002, 11:41 PM

Borax and Raspberry Jello.
It has worked great for me.

Cast'n'Blast · 11-25-2002, 01:48 PM

I generally use borax only or borax and some reddish jello for steelhead but only put a small quantity of steelhead eggs up this fall. Want to try some Amermans and am going to stop by the Sportsman's Warehouse in Salem but am wondering if there are steelhead eggs avail. also? Has anyone used the Amermans u/r bright eggs for steelhead? Thanks

Timber · 11-25-2002, 03:09 PM

I haven't but I have heard enough posts say that it works real well

Uglygreen · 11-25-2002, 03:17 PM

I tried a new one... Nate's Bait Cure... only seen it at Estacada Tackle so far, for Steelhead. Seemed to work really well, made a harder cured egg that was good for multiple drift casts and was still steelhead candy. Caught a bunch of summers in the almost slack water freedrifting these eggs.

I haven't heard of it yet

Grant Scheele · 11-25-2002, 06:47 PM

Cast n Blast. Sportsmans warehouse is not carrying our cure yet but the GI Joes in Salem is carrying both the Salmon and Steelhead cure right now. Let me know if you can't find it and I will help somehow. Grant

Cast'n'Blast · 11-26-2002, 08:03 AM

Thanks Grant, I forked over the dough last night at Sportsman's and bought salmon cure now I'll probably go to Joe's and get some steelie cure.
