for those who like using Jensen eggs,
whats your favorite colour

[Every Day]

I have only used orange with a vireity of different colours of wool and had some sucess. However, at the end of last season my fishing partner started using a cherise egg with a white wool colour that had a pinkish tinge to it and was somedays outfishing my roe. If I was going to use jensen eggs I would probably stick with orange or cherise.

Is cherise pink?

[devon42]

is it more effective to have to egg on the line right above the hook with wool above that
 or the egg and wool right on the hook

Personal preference

[Every Day]

I prefer egg on hook and wool in bait loop.

If like me you find the jensen egg wont stay up near the baitloop where the yarn is a little tip is to carry Super-Glue Locktite (the brush on variety) and put a couple dabs of it on your knot then slide the jensen over top.

Are jensen eggs legal to use in rivers with a bait ban?  btw favorite colour orange with a whisp of green wool

superglue on mono? a corrosive agent will weaken your knot / line.

if you prefer the egg on the hook like I do, buy the Delta Tackle Plastic Eggs. They are more firm than the jensen eggs, and do not slide down the hook easily like the jensen eggs.

[Fish Assassin]

Problem with your jensen egg sliding down the hook ? Just thread the jensen egg onto your leader above the eye of the hook.

[HOOK]

anyone ever try using spider thread to hold the egg from sliding off ?? (i mean the clear stretchy stuff of course)

[Rodney]

Like FA, I simply slide the Jensen egg up so it sits above the eye of the hook to prevent sliding. In the bait loop, I usually have some wool. Pink egg/white wool, orange egg/white wool, pink egg/chartreuse wool, chartreuse egg/pink wool have rewarded me in the past. A good substitution of Jensen Eggs is small gooey bobs that measure 5 or 6mm in diameter. Most local tacklestores carry them.

A question was asked about jensen eggs in bait ban areas...the answer is that they are poured with scent in them so they are classified as bait. 

Please be aware that on the stamp all single eggs are being banned (in the bait ban area) regardless off their manufacturer.  Apperantly gooeybobs are a different story.  We drifted with the murphy's in earl jan and thats the warning we were given.
