Homemade cutbait

[Offshore IV]

Dumb question but do you guys think if you caught a bunch of shiners in the river and filleted them and put them on a meat rig much like we do with herring, you’d get the same result??

I was concerned with maybe the scent of the specific herring species but I guess I’m overthinking it.

I've caught Salmon on Atlantic Herring, Pacific Herring, Alewife, and Balyhoo. Oh yea, I love running MC Rockets and I've recently ran a SOCO Baits strip. It comes down to the roll more than what's in the head.

Nice, that’ll save me money big time. Except now I’ll jist spend it on other gear lol

How did you like the Soco bait strips? I ran into those guys at the Mexico launch this past spring back having battery trouble. I pulled a battery out of my boat to get them going for the day and they started telling me about how they were gonna make a better cutbait strip. What they told me about it at the time sounded pretty promising.

I think the MC Rockets have better glow, but I like the thickness of the metal strip in the SOCO strip. I think it will last longer, and not get as bent up as a rocket.

What is your favorite color rocket. I have caught fish on silver ones. Haven't done well on other colors
