A-Tom-Mic Meat Rigs question

[Sam N. Slayer]

Picked up a couple A-Tom-Mic meat rigs and some herring strips to use for the first time. The meat holder has a small hole that goes through both sides. I'd imagine that is used to "pin" the meat in place inside the holder and then the treble hook goes through the meat in the back of the strip near the "tail". My question is what is used to pin the meat in the holder?

Tooth pick and break it off or you can buy little red pins. 

 

I dont put the trebble in the bait. Just rig to run just short of the meat.

What he said ^^  Also use a toothpick to pin the treble at the back of the meat strip.  You can put the tooth pick in the rear hole that the line runs thru before the hook to hold it in place.
