I have been using these for a few years now, good video. Here is how I use them. Trinidad tackle makes the anchovy heads. They come just the bare head or with a wire to insert along the spine down the length of the bait. The ones with the wire are a pain to rig and take some extra time. I use the size large silicon bobber stops that slide off a wire. I bought 600 the other day for just a few bucks. Work much better than the bobber stop knots for a cleaner presentation Solid tie your rig with a 2 or 2 1/2 inch spacing between knots. The bobber stop goes directly above the hooks then slide the anchovy head down. Much easier and quicker to change out leaders that way. As shown don't use larger than a 3/0 hook. 1/0 or 2/0 work fine bonus if you use fine wire hooks. You will lose the red pin so carry round toothpicks.
Thanks for the great videos guys. I’ve been using anchovy helmets for 20 years, this is the first time I’ve seen a bobber stop knot used for the tension. Great upgrade! Thanks, Rick
Would you be willing to try an underwater camera to capture the bite action on your bait? I am going to try this on Lake Superior. Thank you for the great videos!
Have seen Nick out there working hard with clients on the Columbia, I will use any tricks he uses if it helps improve my fish catching. Thanks for the info
Good tip on the bobber stop. Haven’t used that. How bout a video showing the slip tie mooching rig? I’ve been using the gamu pre tied slip rigs and I’m over them. Lost too many fish due to them this year!
Great, useful information. I have fished the Columbia many times but recently started fishing a little closer to home in North Idaho on Lake Coeur D'Alene for landlocked Chinook. I am curious as to what type line and test rating you're using to put these rigs together. Any help and suggestions are appreciated.
Option 1st Life I just started using them this summer. They kill! You don’t need a dodger with these because they creat their own action. I just used the diver. It depends on the type of salmon for speed. Kings tend to like a slower troll than silvers.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU MARLIN!!!!! Nick!!!!

Thanks for the tip! Esp. the the bobber stop!
The leader can go thru the tip of the red peg before re-entering back into helmet so you don't lose them.
Nick what knot do you use for your sliding hook set up's ?
I would like to see the bait spinning in the water, so I know if I am doing everything right. I can never tell if I have too much spin

good video dudes, quick question....do you buy your sliding rigs pre-tied or do them yourselves?
You Guys Have Great Info
Ok now it’s time for videos on tribs for coho and kings!
Have you used the Gibbs Rhys Davis Super Herring Bait Heads on any other area on the Columbia or Willamette rivers?
I used to lose fish with a sliding rig. Never use them anymore. Why not a solid tie?
How about a vid on fishing coho on the middle columbia river
Have you ever used wire to help shape the anchovy?
How do you use the large Rhys Davis Teaser Cut Bait Head for Herring???????????????????
Awesome! Thanks
Great video!
Can you use this if YOU'RE plucking from shore in fast moving water??
How about leader length? You like 360 or triangle ?
I think it will work on a river with a small blade in front of it,for plunking. Good video again.
I am wondering can these be successfully used on rivers?
Two questions, do you use a dodger or other type of atractor and how fast would you troll this?

How much is it to take me and my dad out??
Need some new hoodies ! When you guys making some new ones??
Wish camera person wasn't SO far away . Hard to see details.
ANCHOVY SPECIAL has a hole for a toothpick you dont need a bobber slip knot
all you need is one triple hook 😅😅😅 been using one for well over 20 yrs lol
Why don't you ever show the spin?
