Quick take
Biodegradable artificial eggs that sink naturally and stay on the hook through multiple casts, sized for salmon and trout.
These Fire Balls are soft, biodegradable artificial salmon eggs in a Gold/Shrimp color, packed in a 1.65 oz jar. They are aimed at salmon and trout anglers who want an egg imitation that sinks naturally and rides on a spear-point hook. A good pick for drift fishing or float setups when real eggs are a hassle to cure and carry.
