Grandpa we know how to spell. Yamamoto does make good rubber squid and worm baits.

Sardines and anchovies can make for a good trolling bait if you firm them up in a rock salt brine to help them stay on the hook longer. I just am always concerned if my bait is still rolling or even on the hook.

When the fishing is hot the salmon strike before they soften and come undone. But when it's hot then herring is all you need anyway, so I usually just stick with those. The big blue pack size or large 8 inch fresh ones work great out of Westport and Tillamook for big kings. IMHO
