You can buy mesh from sporting goods stores in several colors that works well for tying up some bags. I try to match the color of the sack to the color of th eggs but I don't know if that matters or not.

Put 3-5 eggs inside the mesh and use Self sticking string to wrap the sack closed and hold the eggs in place (I think the stuff is called spider thread or somthing)

Do a search on here or any other fishing web site for how to salt water cure your single eggs that is the best way to cure eggs for use in roe sacks.

hope that helps

Chris Gadsden makes some good roe bags, I hear of fish taking them in every one of his reports, maybe he can help.
