OK. Noob-y content warning. Tune out now if this produces copious bile.
Anyone fishing jerkbaits aka ripbaits aka minnow plugs for salmon? Plug-cut herring being the odds-on favorite of trollers in tidewater, clearly the salmon will snap at a baitfish. Something like a bigger size Pointer minnow in American Shad is a pretty fair herring imitation, much better than any other popular plugs like Wiggle Warts or Flatfish/Quickfish. Yet I absolutely never see reference to salmon fishing with them. Hmmm...
What about swimbaits? Again, pretty much dead-nuts for imitating baitfish. Again, no mentions.
