I also use a herring strip but for both BM and Coho. The trick is to "Julienne" them into thin strips...you cooks out there know what I mean. This keeps the hooch rollling and darting nicely without a slab of meat hanging off it.

Last year when fishing off WP in the Everett Derby, I trolled a hooch with a strip and hit 7 fish, 3 coho and 4 chinook with this combo. fishy banana ..after that I was convinced.


I was using my new knucklebuster that day and got one of those workouts that hurt the good way! eek

I think that method can be very effective, I dont use smelly jelly or other scents wink on anything but the flasher or downrigging gear.
