I've heard and read that so many cures/methods out there are the absolute best available...

Has there ever been any proof to these claims, or is it purely speculative to personal preference??

Are cured skeins better than mature loose eggs tied in a sac, if so why?? Why does everyone seem to choose red?

I've caught salmon and metalheads on all egg types/cures/colors and methods, but have yet to compare any technique side by side because I don't fish all that often and use what is available at the time.

I'm not trying to divulge any guide secrets here...just trying to learn from everybody's input.
