Got it with a flasher and a herring in a hood. Last summer, mostly August, was really the first time I started having success in the sound. The herring combo has accounted for about 90% of my fish. Since it was the first set up I caught anything on it is the one I use 90% of the time. I have also caught a few on coyotes but none on hoochies, although I have fished with them the least. I plan on trying more hardware since it is less of a hassle.
