A little herring strip on the leading hootchie hook works well.

Another variation I have used is to get a piece of "string" out of a rag mop about 2" long. Loosen the line around the leading hook - like an "egg loop". Put the string half-way through. Now you have an absorbent piece of material to soak up some stinky juice...
