Hey, I'm wondering if any of you cure skein roe. If you do, and you lay a fresh piece of skein on a paper towel, do you notice that the paper towel absorbs a lot of the liquid (oils and blood) from the skeins? Have you ever tried using this liquid to help maintain a scent on your bait?
The reason I ask is that I tore off a piece of the paper towel and placed it in a glass of water and there was an instant milking effect and a lot of it too. Needless to say I was impressed since the milking provides a scent trail for a fish to identify a bait and this may very well lead to more fish on my line. So I kept the one paper towel and placed it in a ziploc bag - I'm going out after work to the river to see if by attaching some of this soaked paper towel to my hook (along with some previous year's skein) that I'm able to catch more fish.
I was also able to place some of the liquid from the bottom of the plastic bags in a small glass container, so that I could pour or dunk my roe before I casted it out.
Anyway, some feedback on this would be great. I know that I won't be able to keep this liquid for long since it will probably rot soon.
