Quick take

Super-fine borax powder for curing fish eggs without over-drying, for steelhead and salmon presentations.

Pro-Cure Borax Egg and Bait Cure Powder is a finely milled borax for salmon and steelhead eggs, with fine granules that coat roe without clumping. Extra moisture is built in so the eggs do not dry out, and it comes in a plain finish for anglers who want a classic look. Borax firms eggs and helps keep a stronger cure from hardening them too much, and it can be blended into an egg cure at about a quarter cup per half cup of borax to 12 ounces of cure. The 30-ounce reusable bottle keeps a supply on hand for regular bait making.
