If you're on a very tight budget roe wise and need to buy some I'd say Berry's is a good bet for cured roe. Tie it up in sacks so it lasts way longer on the hook until you're able to kill a doe and cure your own.

Bad idea, half your eggs will explode before your roe sacs hit the water, the other half won't last 5 casts.  Too much time and effort to attempt this, and its the wrong type curing method for the eggs.   Blue fox' slay coho, so does most decent hardware..

Tight lines..

You're tying the mesh too tight then. It's only there to hold everything together so it lasts longer and the current doesn't rip it apart. I've never had a problem doing this in the past when I've been short on roe.

I agree, I haven't had much luck with bags but gobs of roe work good for me.
