Pautzke Borax O’ Fire

Pautzke Borax O’ Fire is Pautzke’s borax-based egg cure for salmon and steelhead roe, combining a traditional dry-cure foundation with krill scent. Compared with a sulfite cure, it produces a drier, firmer egg that is especially useful for steelhead, brown trout, spawn sacks, and single-egg presentations.

Key Features

• Borax-based cure with no sulfites
• Krill scent adds an additional attraction cue
• Produces a drier, firmer cured egg
• Suitable for skeins, loose eggs, and spawn sacks
• Available in red, pink, orange, and natural

Best Uses

Use BorX O’ Fire when a firm, durable cured egg is preferred, particularly for steelhead and brown trout. Apply sparingly at first—the amount of cure influences how dry the finished eggs become—then adjust to the texture needed for the intended rig.
