stlhdr1 and Reel Truth. You both talk about interesting egg cures. When is the last time you tryed going back to basics. I have been using the same old cure since the late 70's. When I say same old I mean a cure I learned from old Milford from the original Woodland bate shop (Before he cut down the tree in fromt of his shop). The cure involves only borax and salt. Has caught many fish through the years. First used to catch monsters on the East fork (before hatchery introduction).
