Good roe is good bait, and Nate's Bait Lunch Lady Egg Cure makes putting it to use pretty darn simple. Designed as an easy, one-step curing process, Lunch Lady lets you turn fresh skeins or single eggs into prepared fishing bait without a complicated list of ingredients or multiple curing steps.
This Orange version gives your cured eggs a bright orange presentation, providing another color option when you're putting together bait for Alaska salmon and trout fishing. One 16 oz container cures approximately 20 lbs of skein or single eggs, making it easy to process plenty of roe during salmon season.
Orange Lunch Lady is designed for curing salmon roe and single eggs for bait. In Alaska, cured eggs are commonly used when targeting:
For every 1 lb of roe, place your eggs in a sealable container and sprinkle them with 3 tablespoons of Lunch Lady Egg Cure. Whole skeins can be opened and cured whole or cut into clusters before curing.
Allow juices to develop for approximately 12 hours, turning the eggs several times to promote 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 your cured bait away for later, Nate's recommends draining approximately half of the developed liquid before freezing.
Wear heavy-duty rubber gloves, protect your work surfaces, and work somewhere with good ventilation. Egg cure can stain hands, clothing, countertops, and anything else that wanders into the operation. Keep the cure, brine, and finished bait away from kids and pets, and follow all instructions and warnings printed on the product label.
Orange is a classic-looking egg color that earns its place alongside the reds and darker cures in a well-stocked Alaska bait supply. It gives you another presentation to experiment with without changing the simple Lunch Lady process.
Because if the fish aren't interested in what you're serving, sometimes it's worth changing what's on the menu.
Sold individually in a 16 oz resealable container. One container cures approximately 20 lbs of skein or single eggs.
We carry Lunch Lady Egg Cure as individual listings in Black Cherry, Iridescent Red, Natural, and Ruby Red. Keeping a couple different colors on the bait shelf gives you options when the fish decide to get picky.
