Rhys -Davis herring strips

[chinook35]

 

There are probably a few old timers that remember the original Rhys-Davis cut bait I am a rabid cut bait ( meat) fisherman. I found this article interesting, hope you do too. The introduction of VHS spelled the end of the RD herring strips in the US. Rhys would not change his method of preparation. RD has been bought by Delta-Gibbs and I find that no good comes from this merger No other cut bait made since can come near the quality of the RD strips. I mourn the passing of this product every year

Thanks for posting. There are some golden tips and rules of thumb in that article and most of it transfers to Lake O  and other fresh waters as well.

I've never tried bee's knees . Do you think they are better than herring strips ?
