Nate's Bait Egg Cure Lunch Lady 16oz Iridescent Red

Nate's Bait Egg Cure Lunch Lady Iridescent Red 16oz

Why you need this:

Good salmon roe deserves better than getting forgotten in the freezer. Nate's Bait Lunch Lady Egg Cure gives Alaska anglers a straightforward, one-step way to turn fresh skeins or single eggs into cured fishing bait.

The Iridescent Red formula creates a bright red presentation with an iridescent finish, giving you another option when you're building your egg arsenal for salmon and trout season. One 16 oz container cures approximately 20 lbs of skein or single eggs, making it plenty useful when you've got a successful salmon season and bait to put up for later.

Lunch Lady is designed to make curing easier, cleaner, and faster without requiring a complicated multi-step process.

What's this good for?

Iridescent Red Lunch Lady is designed for curing salmon roe and single eggs for bait. In Alaska, cured eggs are commonly used when targeting:

• Coho (Silver) Salmon
• Chinook (King) Salmon
• Rainbow Trout
• Dolly Varden
• Arctic Char
• Steelhead

How to use?

For every 1 lb of roe, place your eggs in a sealable container and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of Lunch Lady Egg Cure. Whole skeins can be opened and cured whole or cut into clusters before curing.

Allow the eggs to develop juices for approximately 12 hours, turning them several times to encourage an even color and cure. Leave them at room temperature for a total of 24 hours and they're ready to fish.

If you're putting the eggs away for later, Nate's recommends draining approximately half of the developed liquid before freezing.

A little cure advice:

Wear heavy-duty rubber gloves and work in a well-ventilated area. Egg cure can stain hands, clothing, and work surfaces, so bait-prep night probably isn't the time to break out the good kitchen towels. Keep cure, brine, and finished bait away from kids and pets, and follow all instructions and warnings provided on the product label.

Why we love this one:

Red cured eggs are an Alaska bait-box staple, and the Iridescent Red version gives that familiar presentation a little extra visual pop. More importantly, Lunch Lady keeps the curing process simple: measure it, mix it, turn your eggs periodically, and let the cure do its job.

For anglers who process their own salmon roe instead of letting perfectly good bait go to waste, that's a pretty useful little container to have around.
