The new Pautzke Fire Balls look, smell, taste and fish like our world famous Balls O'Fire salmon eggs. We even use our trade secret Balls O' Fire formula to make them. Fire Balls though aren't real eggs (don't tell the fish). They are a biodegradable, protein based ball that is more durable than real eggs. They are impregnated with our Pautzke nectar, giving you that soft, and satisfying feel of real eggs. These eggs are more durable than the real thing, but still soft enough for great hook-ups with soft biting fish.
