Story, story! It's ifish tradition to post a story when you're a new member. That being said, buy Amerman's eggs. His link is on the main page and they can be found at GI Joes also. Canonized killers those eggs are, welcome to IFISH!

It will come down to preference. If I were to catch fish on pro-cure I may become a pro-cure buff. It's hard to say who has the best, but you will just have to spend a couple bucks, well a few now a days, on a few cups of cured roe and make your choice.

Awhile back I used to hear people complain that they didn't like Guides Choice eggs. I found them to work fine. I placed them out in front of a fan to toughen them up a bit and I was happy. Considering the quart jar they offered 2 3/4 pounds of eggs, the amount for the quart was worth it especially at the price!

If the product was poor I would not have hesitated to pay a few bucks more for another, but it's not. Be cautious on the pricy offerings. Just because some others are convinced that some eggs are the best should not draw you in to pay an additional $15 a quart.

Quality products are all around us and so the competitive market of cured roe looms with lots of attractive colors, smells and results.

Good luck on your choice.

Cheap price does not mean cheap product. YOU BE THE JUDGE!!

Lets start with the first letter in the alphabet, A = Amermen. Enough said. Even if the stuff is not exactly what he is fishing, it still awesome if it is 50% as effective as the real mojo Scott fishes.

marrie at tillamook bait makes some pretty good eggs and she is priced about the same as G. I Joes at about 25.00 a quart. for steelhead just let them sit out in your desired bait size for a while in the air and let them get to be a little on the sticky side so you get a few more drifts out of them rather then all wet like a salmon style clump. also go small dime sized is great or even nickel but try to avoid the golfball or worse but more comon baseball. also try adding some marries scent to the eggs while you fish them

So if sandshrimp is the bait of choice, where is the best place to buy them in the Vancouver area? Sorry to "steal" the thread.

timbertown, I too have pondered this question. I think there are several brands that are good, some more $, some less $ :smile:

Sandshrimp is a good idea, better yet buy yourself a crawdad trap
