For Herring, I would use a 4-6 oz Metzler sliding weight, bead chain, and six foot of 30lb leader to a mooching rig. Drop to bottom medium speed, when you hit bottom, reel up 5-10 times then drop again.

Kill the motor and let the wind drift you slowly as you bounce your setup up off the bottom and let it fall back down.

Good luck-
