Cut Bait and Bait Holders

Fishing with Bait or Cut Bait to catch Salmon is one of the most popular fishing techniques in use today. Fishing with Bait is the prime technique for catching Salmon on the West Coast from California north to Alaska. In the past few years, fishing with cut bait rigs has become the late summer and fall fishing tactic of choice on Lake Ontario.

The correct type of action for bait and cut bait rigs is a roll as opposed to a spin. For Salmon, the bait should make between 1 to 2 revolutions per second. Lake Trout and Brown Trout like a slow roll less than 1 revolution per second. The holders and rigs below are designed to give the proper bait action with whole herring, herring strips, anchovy, alewife, or smelt.
