Curing Salmon Eggs With BorX O Fire For Fall Salmon

The debate rages on: should you use a sulfite or borax based cure for salmon? For the most part, sulfite wins. Meanwhile, TV host Big D of Fish Hunt Northwest offers up a borax based cure that is a go-to for salmon and gives up the recipe on this episode of Pautzke Outdoors.

[@TeamPautzke]

We call him Big D for a reason!

Everytime i use this on loose eggs i either get complely dried out mushy eggs or they just get soupy in the bag and dont toughen up at all so they just break when i try and wrap sacs… what am i doing wrong

[@micahziedonis7090]

You don't use them on loose eggs you want to use the cure on skien when the eggs are in a membrian and thr cure helps hold the membrain together and gives it flavor

[@micahziedonis7090]

You just tie the loose in the spawn sacs

[@jaybee3204]

You can water harden loose eggs first, dry on paper towel then use this cure. Just water hardening works decent too, they just aren't really preserved, but will tie easily

[@Ludwigvonweinershnitzle]

Make sure you are not over curing loose eggs and forsure water harden loose eggs makes them into bouncy balls.

[@Dream_carm5]

is it possible to do a time laps on the curing processes

[@TeamPautzke]

Good question, if anyone can do it - it's Big D!

[@mlinder85]

I see that some people leave their eggs on a drying rack after the 24 our cure process. Any reason for or against this?

[@TomBuikema]

In my experience, this can keep skein much more durable and less likely to fall apart on my hook, and allow for longer/more drifts per chunk I use. Rack drying the cured skein (once it's completely reabsorbed it's juice) seems to make the skein last longer in refrigeration in my experience too.

Hey pautz huge fan! I did this recipe last night to make ikura and I’m feeling a little bit sick this morning

[@weedhopper]

[@austinwaters7977]

Only cure I use is Pautzke. Love you cure and products. Plus I am from Yakima so your in my back yard.

[@yyoohh]

So I cured the egg with fire cure. Can I add borx fire night before the fishing to make it last longer on the hook ?

[@Ludwigvonweinershnitzle]

I would just add regular borax if you allready used fire cure.

[@Dryflyonly86]

I want to cure to use eggs to tie up egg sacs. What is the difference between fire cure borax o fire? What should I use?

[@TeamPautzke]

Fire Cure is a sulfite formula - BorX O Fire is borax based. So many factors to determine which you need to use. Are you fishing for salmon or steelhead? Do you want a wet or dry egg?

[@Dryflyonly86]

@@TeamPautzke steelhead and browns, whatever works better for egg sacks

[@Dryflyonly86]

What cure do you think would work best in that case? Not a new fisherman but new to bait fishing for steelhead. Thanks!

[@bhdlp]

These videos always crack me up. Eventually, by the end of each video he has 6 different things thrown together. You think maybe he’s trying to get people to buy all these products?😂

[@TeamPautzke]

To each their own - we encourage you to use what you are confident in - just like this angler did. And, they make a living off it daily, so using it over and over again must work;)

[@Honks34]

Is the Fire Gel water or oil based?

[@jvonzun1]

Can I cure also shrimps?

[@TeamPautzke]

Yes. BorX O Fire, Fire Cure, Fire Brine all work
