I use a modified version of that brine. Less bueling and I add a cup of borax. Add your favorite scent, mine's anchoie. Careful though, add a tiny bit to be sure the scent your using mixes. If it's a 'sauce' it may coagulate and float on top making a mess. Leave the herring in overnight then remove. It's good for 3 or 4 days at lower temps. No more falling apart bait, it works extremely well.

Good luck fishing!
