Those headless gutted smelts that safeway and superstore have are absolutely amazing, you can hook them to a jig head like you would any other jig body and they'll stay on even after an aggressive hit. Sobeys just brought in mini mackerel that are medium smelt sized and very flashy and good. As for larger herring, those bags of really big sardines at walmart are of great size and cheap $3.78 a bag of 8.. sometimes I cut them into nice sized plug, pending a look I want
