I like sockeye eggs and they look soooooooo good with natural cures. The down-side is that they juice real bad. However, if they're cured correctly they are the most beautiful looking thing that could dangle off your hook. Every time I change-out my bait, I spend 30 seconds admiring their beauty before they hit the drink. Coho eggs are my second because they're not too big, not too small. Steelhead eggs aren't too shabby either, especially in low conditions because they make a nice little cluster on a small hook. I use king eggs for kings, period. When I run out of those, I use sockeye. The only problem is that one sockeye skein only gives you about 3 bait-ups for kings.
