I guess I'm doing it all wrong again.

Fixed leaders for both cut plugged or whole herring.

There's no need for anything that slips if one cuts and rigs a cut plugged herring correctly. Hook size and gapshank between the hooks is dependent on the size of bait you are using. Usually, that's a 3/0 or 4/0 hook.

There's no need for anything that slips if one puts the hook in it's proper place and location on a whole herring. Hook size and gapshank between te the hooks is dependent of the size of bait you using.

I like the bottom hook to be at or near the tail of the hern when rigged with either.

That hangback crap is for the birds and Doc. I'm out to kill ALL salmon when using herring. I want to them to GAG on it and DIE! DIE! DIE!

Choke on this, you kingbitches!



Don't matter if that back hook is buried in the hern or not. Sometimes I do, sometimes I dont.

As others have pointed out, I do run my hootchie rigs with a trailing hook well beyond the skirt of the hootchie...for those damn "nippers". ChinookNippers MUST DIE too!!!!!!

All hatchery kings MUST DIE!!!!
