The Whole Bait herring rigs are popular on the west coast. To make a whole bait rig you will need bait and two hooks tied to a leader (the hooks can be fixed or with the middle hook tied as a slider).

Thread the first hook thru the "slit" between the lower jaw and through the roof of the baits mouth, coming out between the nostrils.

Follow with the second hook.

Next thread the first hook through the top of the eye socket.

Insert the first hook through the bait between the tail and the dorsal fin. Insert the second hook through the back of the bait.

Tighten the leader to place a slight bend in the bait. Always tune whole bait rigs at the side of the boat to insure the proper rolling action. The proper action is a tight roll and pause that simulates a wounded bait fish rolling over and trying to retain its balance.
