Not going to worry about it in the bay and river. Plenty of room in an empty gut for a tooth pick. I'll buy you a box of thick spaghetti noodles and sharpen the ends for the salt.

Just a thought. Could you use spinner wire on your leader so that the wire can't be taken? 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?

That sounds like a great idea.
There are some bass fishing hooks that are already kinda like that...for holding rubber worms. The pin for holding them is pretty short, but the exact same thing with a long pin should work just fine , Doc.
Fish on...

Here's a Mustad "Power Lock" worm hook...seems to me that a spinner wire could be used to do this easily enough with a herring or anchovy, too.  Fish on... Todd

At my office we have "plastic" forks and knives that are actually made out of potatoes. They are really strong too and biodegradable. Now I don't know if fish can digest potatoes, but Achewter's pasta idea rang a bell. I think the concern is more the sharp point than the wood or material itself.

Would prefer something with a smaller cleaner profile on the loop end, but I'd bet they work as I described.

Bamboo is grass. Isn't that still cellulose? Yeah...but with the loop on there the fish would strip the bait and leave the bamboo on the hook, rather than take it with him down the gullet. Fish on... Todd

I have 1/2 a case of freshly, frozen orange labels that would fish mighty well whole for silvers.
They are nice bait and I'm not gonna use them.
Anyone interested???
Hate to see them go to waste.
Will hand carry in Olympia area.

Pretty sure those particular spinner blades were a "custom" promotion, aimed at the large number of sport fishermen in Grays Harbor who run a little eye surgery biz on the side. They DO seem to meet your standard specification at that.... Nah... just a gee whiz promo. Dam things never work anyway.... well, not until you scrub the drug company logo.

I have a guide friend who switched to the flat toothpicks because they soften up and bend more easily,
