Bluewater Bait Salmon Skeins are harvested whole from spawning Doe Chum Salmon in the fall. They are then frozen whole in specialized containers for processing fresh during the following years fishing season.

The process of curing these skeins takes about 11 days, and when complete they are cut into 215 gram portions and trayed; they are then vacuum sealed and refrigerated. The shelf life is about 4 months in this environment. Used primarily for freshwater fishing in lakes and streams.
