Salted roe is also known as caviar, and it is not something I would feed the fish with.
Maybe my good friends, but definitely not the fish. ;D

From what I know, salt is not a good option for curing roe, as it will stiffen the roe which, in turn, won't release scents in the water like boraxed roe does.

In a word, don't salt it if you want to fish it.
Likewise, don't borax it if you want to eat it!!! :D

disclaimer: salt is used in the process of curing hard single eggs

Salted roe is generally allot tougher and stays on your hook much longer than other types. Most of the salted roe you will find for sale does not look as nice visually, compared to procured and or boraxed roe. Store bought salted roe works better for bar fishing in dirtier waters.

i got no luck on salted roe. Pro cure works best for me.
