heck yeah! If I used them more I'd probably have more success with them. I honestly forget I have them, or misplace them. They give the perfect roll, they won't blow out and look like crap in 20 minutes, and all you have to do is re-apply scent if you so please every now and then, probably about every 30 minutes depending on water temp. No bait hands, no wondering if your herring has blown and looks like a floundering sausage being drug through the water. It really increases the amount of time your line is in the water, which ultimately increases hook ups. Plus, did I mention, no bait hands? Yeah. No bait hands. And in the long run, it costs way less than buying crap to brine herring, and buying a couple dozen herring for each trip. Also, really, who wants to put herring brine in your fridge overnight? Gross.
