52/74 | 6mm & 7mm Hybrid Blend (Limited Batch)

When a pink salmon (52 chromosomes) and a chum salmon (74 chromosomes) crossbreed, nature breaks the rules. The result? A spawning hybrid hen with a skein unlike anything else on the river. Because mismatched chromosome counts disrupt uniform egg development, a hybrid’s egg drop isn't standard—it’s an irregular mix of mid-sized intermediate eggs and oversized drops drifting down the gravel seams.

We built the 52/74 pack to mirror that exact genetic anomaly. Featuring a mix of 6mm and 7mm beads, this bag pairs a peachy-coral hue with a unique yolk. Drift the 6mm as your true intermediate sweet spot, or thread the 7mm when you need extra footprint and visibility in heavy flows.

Only 24 total packs produced. Once this micro-batch is gone, it’s back into the genetics vault.

• Quantity: Strictly limited to 24 packs total

• Specs: Mixed 6mm (15 ea) & 7mm (10 ea) counts

• Finish: Semi-translucent

• Color: Creamy peach, soft coral drop with a dash of magic sauce creating the ultimate Pink x Chum tone

• Best For: Technical rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, and grayling behind active spawners
