I don't precure my salmon and steelhead skeins prior to freezing. I loosely vacuum pack them and freeze. When I'm ready to use I slow thaw in the fridge.
I love "egg balls" for both salmon and steelhead. I cut and lay out 3"x3" mesh squares and cut the eggs onto the mesh. Size depends on whether I'm using for salmon or steelies. Nickel to quarter size for salmon, dime sized for steelhead. After eggs are cut, I use "magic thread" to finish by folding the corners together to form the ball, and make a few wraps with the thread, cinch, a few more wraps and break off. Use scissors to trim the tag. After a few minutes on a strainer to let excess juice drain off, I roll the egg balls in Pro Cure, let 'em sit overnight and they're ready to fish.
