that is what i have heard of as well, wrap it with net, i have never done, but i hear it works greatnot that I know of, unfortunately the most effective way is not really the cheapest or efficient way, I have seen people wrap the roe with net before though.... just a thought
What really works good for me When I'm tying the eggloop Instead of the traditional 10 wraps and then 5 I wrap 15-20 wraps depending on hook sizeand then 5 Making the egg loop bigger it wont cut as bad works very well on sand shrimp to. Also if your eggs are cured properly its not that big of a problem.
So what happens with that roe at hookset or an aggressive line mend? It seems to me that the egg loop would cut through the soft roe and split it in half? I wonder if there is a better way?
Uhm, yep. There's not better way. If you set the hook say goodbye to your eggs. Some eggs cured up differently may hold up to a hook set or two..
I am thinking perhaps a small corkie above the hook with a toothpick will keep the egg loop from tightening up too much and splitting the row. This should also provide some buoyancy to keep it off the bottom.
Yeah, you're right. The corkie would have to be on the egg loop itself. Would that work? Or, anything that makes the egg loop semi-permanent. Good point Mike!
