Just follow directions on the bottle. I prefer a more durable egg for salmon so you may want them to let them air dry a little longer before bottling them or bagging them up.

For steelhead I stick with the tried and true borax/salt cured eggs. I just don't think steelhead are that picky and these look good to me, stay on the hook for multiple casts, and most importantly catch alot of steelies.

I personally like a few commercial cures and the old salt/sugar/borax

To me catching fish on eggs I cured with my cure is as much fun as catching fish. It's another hobby all in it's own.

i only rarely use eggs for steelhead any more so i don't dry my eggs after curing. i mostly use them for bobber fishing, so i leave all the juices in so i can get them as milky as possible. if i do feel like drifting them, i can always put them on a rack after taking them out of the freezer.
