Why are Roe bags the standard for Steelhead instead of Roe?

Is it because of getting frozen fingers with the constant re-baiting?

Do Steelhead prefer they're lunches bagged

Does anyone use roebags at other times of the yaer for Coho or Springs?

Less messy, Stay on hook longer, well scented, and well known to the fish.

roe bags hook fish, skeins hook fish, i like the roe bags in clearer water, where i dont need a big presentation

ahaha FISH IS STUPID  any bait works

[jetboatjim]

being somewhat of a roe expert ,I will fish roe bags only if I'am changing up lots. usually I fish just roe I dont like tying bags, takes too long.
I would say I can fish a tiny piece of roe, if need be or a big piece, It dosent really matter.
bags work good in "big" or fast water, it just lasts longer.

So it seems to be an easier presentation with less hassle.

So far I've only been using roe and can't say if changing to something else would have made a difference, at least not to the fish anyways....my fingers maybe.

What about real worms for Steelhead instead of imitation? Ever tried it?

roe bags are only less hassle on the water. but it takes a couple hours to tie up enough to a few hours of fishing. not worth the time in my eyes. I dont fish roe for steel anyhow, only use it for salmon 

[HOOK]

I dont tie them enough to get a good rythm going so it takes me longer then i want it to. I change my bag enough that i need to tie more then just a few LOL i also usually have to tie enough for my dad also

why not in this water temp? would a big glob of dewies not be equivilant to a big gob of roe? sure it might not scent as much but wouldn't it be eye candy for a hungry steelie?

What is the most popular way to fish prawns and shrimp? raw or cooked? dyed?

[Fish Assassin]

They all work. Take your pick

roe bags are great as far as durability goes, and as far as time goes I find that I can tie up enough bags for a day or two in about a half hour. I've always shied away from roe because it is such a mess on the river and you are constantly rebaiting but the bags are amazing. I think that I will fish them almost exclusively for salmon this year.

5 or 6 pro cured un hardened singles in a bag, makes for a good bait, onlyl get about 8-10 casts with it though. So it doesn't give u the efficiency u get with the salted or water hardened ones
