why cut the fish up for the eggs ????? ever heard of artificial eggs

[fishingwithrod]

@callamBoss You should never kill a fish just for the eggs. This fish was of course killed, consumed and the eggs were used instead of simply being chucked in the garbage.

if i let them drain longer will they dry up better cuz, i do alot of drift fishing and i always have trouble with soft roe

[fishingwithrod]

@pacogarcia7991 Yep, the amount of drying time really depends on how soft/firm/hard you prefer your roe to be. If I am drift fishing in waters where stronger current exists, then I definitely prefer harder pieces of roe so they'll stay on the hook longer.

After curing roe, do they harden?

[fishingwithrod]

@yenghawj The curing process hardens it slightly because it draws water out of the eggs, but the hardening process happens during drying. How hard you want the eggs to be, depends on how long you dry them for.
