How are they used as bait Mack , something i know nothing about 

Same with me. I'm guessing you could glue them onto some cotton put them on a rig. I like to use a sowing needle ,  thread of cotton 6 red maggots on the end of the hook. Make like a hair rig. Score every time.

Easiest way is roe or egg bags trotted through a swim under a float steve,doesn't take long when the pools are packed.

That would work,spawn sacks from a store are easier.

I saw an advert a few years back for some bait place wanting a hundred pounds of salmon eggs for the salmon run,loads of people sell skeins of roe.

How do they hook them , do they wrap a load of them in a mesh bag and hook the bag or do it another way
