How to Rig a Cut Plug Hoochie for Salmon in 2021 

Best trick I learned that from a commercial fishermen in the 70's. Tight line's tide lines fine lines to ya from Vancouver Island BC or as I call it Northern California.

Curious. Why the egg loop? It seems it would be a lot easier and quicker to just snell the hooks unless you're adding eggs. I also can't figure out the tag going through the front hook. Looks strong, but it's not tied to the front hook so if the actual line between the hooks gets nicked and breaks, the tag will just slide out. Am I missing something?

Great video. Covered all bases. Now show us catching some chinook with it. 🐟

Would love to see a double hook setup on the FBR. My only issue with them right out of the package is the single hook. Interesting hootchie serup

Won't that hootchie kill the spin on a cut-plug herring?

that is a choked herring
