It is easiest to cut strips for Rhys Davis super strip heads. Fillet the herring down to the backbone, then cut the blue upper part off, save as a thinner bait, last call.
Take the silver lower side and trim to fit the narrow head space. A long tapering triangle is a good shape. Brine and colour it. Best to use the right hand side, but the left side can also be used in the super strip head. Much harder to get the correct shape for the large strip holder. one side is curved, the other straight. Do your cuts when the bait is half thawed.

Lot of work but pretty happy with how the herring worked out! About 200 pieces brined and vacuum packed into 20 bags, and another roughly 200 pieces chopped and portioned into ziplocs for prawn/crab bait. Can't wait to get out and use it

Sure beats the price of buying normal bait, plus to a good cause. Few scales missing, and while a good chunk of them were extra large plenty of small and mediums in the mix.
but I would rather use it up Hali and ling fishingSimilar threads
