Herring are filter feeders, but they will attack a Sabiki Rig, and ofcourse...bump into it lol. Use a weighted treble for snagging them as well if you're into 'em thick. Just don't be taking Alewives/Herring on Wednesday's by any means in NH, like I see other people doing upriver quite often during May and June. It's illegal You also must have a harvest permit to net them in any way.
