Well I haven't been out since my last report because of the weather and work. So I have been filling my spare time with preparing for more salmon fishing!
Here is a sample of my meat rigs that I made myself. I use them for artificial herring strips, real herring strips, and whole herring or other fish.
I like to use these Stringease Stay-Lok snaps below, there is no way they can pop open.
Matched with a good quality ball bearing swivel (pictured below is by Spro). I can not stress the significance of using a good quality swivel. Your presentation is always spinning in the water, if you do not have proper swivel, your main line will start twisting. I have experienced this when I used a cheaper barrel swivel snap with a spoon while trolling, it was a big twisted mess when I brought it back in.
Below are the components to my usual teaser rigs.
Swivel, snap, teaser head, fluorocarbon leader, single octopus hook, treble hook.
swivel snap ~ 100lb
teaser head ~ pictured is by trigger x(Actually haven't use them yet, I've been meaning to try them out. I have been using Dreamweaver and Rhys Davis heads thus far)
line ~ seagar 50lb fluorocarbon, necessary? Not too sure.. I have used 30lb clear mono filament and 50lb green mono filament before and still caught fish. The fluorocarbon is much more expensive, but the idea is to catch by fish because of the invisibility and strength of the fluorocarbon. Probably a marketing scam that I'm falling for...
Finished result.
That there is a teaser head by Dreamweaver lures with an artificial herring strip by MC rockets.
