Conceptually, this is the most appealing solution.

Wouldn't necessarily have to be wire... could be plastic as well (hint hint, Achewter)

It would just need a mechanism to stay with the tow hook when a bait gets stripped.

I'm thinking something formed/molded (molded ringing any bells Achewter?) with some sort of small eyelet.

Instead of skewering the Old Harbor herring from the anus forward, I'm thinking about starting at the base of the head aft. The tow hook could then be passed thru the eyelet as the hook point exits the top of the herring's head.

Waht yoo tink Oh-sen?
