| Back | Jack Herring (small herring )

Herring (Clupea harengus harengus) used to be one of the most common fish on the fishmongers slab in Great Britain until overfishing depleted the stocks in the late 50's early 60's when fishing quotas were introduced to allow the stocks to build again. Herring is a very oily, soft fleshed fish with a bluish green back to silver underside and is covered with thin scales. The herrings we use are caught in and around the Thames Estuary in the winter by small trawlers and are graded packed and blast frozen the same day as capture. Predator's jack herrings come packed 3 - 4 fish per pack depending upon the size of the fish.

Herring Tails

These come from the larger fish that are to big to pack as jacks and to small to pack as herrings. We cut the fish the same as we do for mackerel tails and pack 4 to the pack. These baits disperse a lot of scent very quickly and are the heavy weights of the herring range of baits produced by Predator Baits specifically for the pike angler.
