How would you run green label herring?

[slickwater]

Ive been running strips on my meat rigs. But my local tackle store just got some green label whole herring.

Should I run them whole or should I fillet them like John King does in one of his videos? Most of my meat heads can't run whole. But I just ordered 2 super magnum heads from John King. If I fillet them would the one fillet be a little short?

Should I brine them with big weenie brand brine or John Kings method.

The green you filet most of the time.

The red you run whole

You definately need to brine it, either meathod works good.

not a pro at it but , from frozen new package in the cooler, lightly thawed , as you fish snip off the head, clean 'em like a smelt, and see if they fit on the meat head, then end of the day, snip off the heads and clean 'em then drop 'em in a jar of brine...keep cold...seen it done but never done it, and it seems to work

I do it this way too... Seems to work better for me than strips for me.

Follow John King's tutorials and you'll do it right. He does a wonderful job of educating/helping us fisherman.

If you bought the mag meats from JK, what does he recommend to use? He's the guru on this these days, I wouldn't doubt his word on this subject, but gladly take it...jmo. What's the cost and any pics. on that new rig Rick? Thanks. P.S. (Any excuse to spend more money on new tackle, eh?).. lol.

I got the new smurf mamba bti flashers and matching smurf meat rigs. I will see how they run with strips first. John Kings websites are www.michigansportsman.com and www.michiganangler.com

Here is this video everyone been talking about, pretty much the same meathod for green and blue, just less trimming needed with the green then the blue to fit in the meathead.
