Hard to beat turkey drumsticks; especially when fishing rings with short soak times.

Recently have been using kokanee frames with good results.

Other good bets include herring, squid, and clams.

Salmon heads and we were going to try some shad that we caught like last year or the year before but havent tried it yet. Thought that might be good since theyre so oily
