Place eggs skeins in paper towels over night to dry in
refrigerator. |
|
|
|
Remove from paper towels and pick paper so eggs are clean
(Do not rinse) |
|
|
|
Cut skeins into bait size pieces. Remember you can always
cut them smaller later, but you can't make them bigger. |
|

|
Place a layer of borax into container, then add eggs, then
more borax to cover clusters. Repeat until the bucket is full of layers
or you run out of eggs. I place the bucket with a tight sealing lid in
the refrigerator for a few days to toughen the clusters. You can also
speed up the process by air drying them. |
|
|
|
This is a cured bucket with the clusters ready to be
removed and placed into Ziploc bags. The skeins to the right will be in
the bucket soon. |
|
|
|
Using a sink full of water to remove air from Ziploc bag
before freezing. It is also a good idea to label your eggs before
placing in freezer. |
|

|
When I need eggs I toss them frozen into the microwave for 30
seconds to thaw. If they are still rock hard I hit them with another 30
seconds. Don't want to cook them...just thaw enough so you can get them
fishable. |
