I’ve seen people fish hermits but I think it would be really difficult to fish them on a jig. They’re just too soft and it’s difficult enough trying to keep a crab on a jig. You’re right about the clam some people fish them first thing in the Spring when the fish are a bit more lethargic until the water warms up. If you break the clams out any other time around serious toggers you’ll get an earful.
