Herring is great way to take a fish in the salt. As the fish move more into the rivers and start to hit the fresh and salt mix in limited tide control area's then a spinner and herring run 50/50 just depends on what you like to run.
personnelly I like to run a red teaspoon spinner has been very successfull for me in the last few years but every river is differant. First time posting on the forums nice to see a good NW fishing website.
