Yep..I did the last 3 batches of eggs (all hen Coho's from this year). Used some tonight for the first time, and frankly they didn't milk worth a hoot..fished under a float, gently cast. After the first drift through about a 30 yd. section of slow water they stopped milking. They LOOK beautiful (as good as Parkers looks), but they didn't milk well at all.

After I removed them from the juice after 45 min, I poured off LOTS of juice, right down the drain. It did seem odd to lose all that good juice...

Next time I do it as suggested here in this thread...they are going to sit in that juice for a couple days until every last drop is re-absorbed. This was with the Redd Hot flourescent stuff.

I've also used the Pro Glow borax after the standard old style Pro Cure, and they perform and milk well. I also add some "goodies" to all the cures..been experimenting with anise and shrimp scents.

Great thread...lots to be learned from others experiences.
