Salmon Rigging: Buzz Bomb, Hoochie & Siwash Hook
Rigging a Buzz Bomb with a small plastic hoochie skirt makes this epic salmon lure even more enticing. Use a Gamakatsu Siwash Hook to stay street-legal in all Washington marine areas.
This setup is one of our top choices for Pink Salmon fishing in Puget Sound. You can jig this from a boat or cast from shore... either way Humpy Salmon absolutely love it! Typically we use a 2" or 2.5" Buzz Bomb, either in Hot Pink, Pearl Pink or Holographic Pink. Pair your Buzz Bomb with a small plastic hoochie skirt and the action will drive those salmon wild.
