Your tackle tinkering and thinking posts reminded me of some observations and pics I took at the Newport Aquarium in Oregon last year. They had a tank with anchovies in it, as the school swam around fish would open their mouths wide, which would cause their gills to flash. Imagine a 100 fish looking like mercury with red flashes going off.....

Your toothpick gills maybe onto something...

Very best,

I saw this same thing at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, shown in the video below:

almost as if someone was flashing a nickel in your eyes yet the rest of the anchovies body stayed camouflaged.. seeing this at that aquarium was the main reason I started putting spinner blades off the nose of my hoochies and they have proved very attractive....
 
Like the spinner blade n hootchie idea. Used to use that on all my jig heads for freshwater fishing for walleye, worked awesome, never thought of that for salmon
 
I was in Monterey Bay Aquarium last month. It was really cool to see anchovies open their mouths so wide to filter the food outta the water. It's like they dislocate their jaws. I also liked checking out the chinook, pacific halibut, spot prawns, rock fish, etc.
