The finest quality salmon bait finally available. After a grueling week I have prepared the best batch of Skein ever produced by a shop for sale.
These Chinooks were harvested on Monday, cure was applied to them in a 3 step process throughout the week. It was in and out of the fridge to dry.
The cure is a mix of double neon red, red hot double stuff, Cherry Cure, and UV fluorescent Red.
Out of the 400 pounds I received I tried many different ways but the only way that works to give exceptional results is massaging the powder in between each flap of roe on the skein. I dont think tackle shops offer this quality of bait due the the extreme long and tedious work.
Like the loose eggs and scrape I cure we dont rinse the eggs giving a super effective bait as good as any home cured quality.
We have extremely upped the quality to heavy duty Chrometainers (Polypropylene) semi translucent Jars. Finally we can offer this to be shipped through north America without worrying about leaks.
We are almost out of scrape, loose eggs and we are sold out of Uncured skeins. If your interested please send me a message or call Colville Outfitter's and Custom Tackle at 716-627-7335.
You can also stop by New yorks best fishing shop from 10-6 everyday.
We are having a special on our Frozen Skein for the 50 Pounds we have left. If your not needing it the day your going you can pick up a tub of beautiful pink skein for an awesome deal. We need to make freezer room.
The skein in the photos are cured specifically for Pacific Salmon Like Chinook, coho, pinks, chum. I very rarely catch any steelhead with these hotter (sulfite) cures unless the bait gets a bit washed out than the steelhead seem to love the membrane. I would not suggest purchasing this bait for Steelhead or Trout. If you would like to order some naturally cured skeins we can take a pre order for this.
Im glad this week is over which seemed like a blink of an eye working on this batch. If you could see the amount of driving, money paid for raw eggs, and the curing process you will see how much of a great deal this jar of eggs actually is.
Thanks for everyone who continually supports the store and all of my crazy projects. Year after year the same people buy pounds and pounds of our eggs which makes this gruelling, sleepless week of curing all worth it!
We have some really great new projects in the work and soon will be offering our own products that are the highest quality on the shelf. With the difficulties of paying for everything with Tarriffs and shipping charges we have to make a move that will help all of us get a superior product for a great price.
