Tuna balls, roe, roe with krill, tuna and roe........I catch alot on plain colored yarn when Im drifting. If there is a good slow hole then I drift a bobber w/bait if its moving along lose the bobber and 1/2 the time no bait.

This is a video demonstrating how Brad's Super Bait and Brad's Super Plug works. Guides all the way from Astoria on the Columbia to the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater are going to this lure, and in the mid-Columbia, many are using it exclusively. I will be using it in the salt this summer for kings, along with the new Hoochie Hooker that is all the rage right now. If you are fishing out of a boat, I would think it might be very productive. You don't have to use a flasher with it. Most folks are packing oil-based tuna in them, but some buy anchovie paste in the supermarket and soak the sponge that comes with it with the paste. Seems like it would work great in the deeper runs of the Snake and Salmon. Mike

Iknow on steelhead in the salmon it is illegal to use more then a single pointed hook is it the same for the kings

I think that is just for the south fork Clearwater. I do believe you can use treble hooks on the salmon as long as they only have a gap of 5/8". Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Thats a pretty slick lure! beats wrapping J-plugs for sure. Might have to try that on the Columbia in the fall

The Brad's come with both a treble hook and a single siwash.
