Lots of ways to skin a cat,but as per always...I like to start at it's ass.

I've less than no interest in "eggs that will fish for hours",though I'm a sucker for Roe that'll catch "right now",even if frequent re-worming is mandated(which it better).

I'm a great fan of immature berries,in fairly tight skeins,as they'll drink mightily of the cure provided,while still offering generous "milktitude" as per number of casts.

Easy to deduce a killer cure IMHO,by the lack of fluids standing in the batch of question. That less straining,draining,freezing or other means.

Fact is,it's the ability of a batch to drink fluids,that holds it in my esteem.
