Prawn Question

So, I have started floating a small chunk of prawn under a float for summer steelhead with some success. Mainly because its easy and cheaper than buying eggs when I don't have any. I usually just throw some cure on them and let them sit and they are ready to go.

My question is...can I use this for chinook? It should work right? I usually use a pink cure for steelhead, should I just slap a whole prawn on and use a dark red cure? Maybe some scents? Any suggestions on scents would much appreciated. Any help actually...

Thanks!

i've caught kings on prawn number of times...I was fishing in sept trying for summers..

That must have been fun on a summer steel rod.
