I use two types of pro-cure to get a hot pink colour. By blending the steelhead orange with the fire red you will get a colour similar to the BC Orange gooey bobs. So I start my process with cutting up the roe into bait sized chunks. Then place into a bucket and sprinkle your pro-cure mix and roll around for 30 minutes until the cure is thoroughly embedded into the roe. The trick is not to put too much pro-cure on this stage. Then lay them out on paper towel to dry the chunks out as much as you can by either air drying for 2 hours or patting them dry. Once they are dry, then sprinkle the mix of pro-cure and borax onto each chunk and roll around until there is no liquid. Then vacuum pack into bags with enough for each day of fishing. Vacuum packing preserves well beyond the usual 1 winter life time you will get if you simply place the roe into regular zip lock bags. This may be more time consuming than simply using borax, but the result is way better, and your roe lasts longer.
