Quick take
Artificial Fire Balls eggs that match the appearance and scent of real salmon eggs, sized for salmon and steelhead.
Pautzke Fire Balls in Coho are soft, biodegradable imitation salmon eggs in a 1.65 oz jar. They are made to look, smell and sink like the cured eggs Pautzke is known for. Anglers after salmon, trout and steelhead, especially around the Great Lakes, can use them where fresh eggs are a hassle to carry.
Best for
- Great Lakes steelhead and salmon targeting
- Anglers who want realism without handling live eggs
- Situations where artificial egg scent proves effective

Strengths
