Yes, Dow's always has herring. True livelined, no bobber. Main line to a small barrel swivel, to 18" of flouro leader to a 1/0 hook.

I am a freshly single 28 year old, using this time to "get my head straight", aka fish therapy. Doctor Rapala prescribed daily doses of Walleye, Hybrids and Pike until another future exgirlfriend comes along lol. Gotta take advantage of this free time while it lasts haha.
