You get that off a Salmon/Steelhead fishing site? Thats how the okes in the Pacific Northwest ( Oregon/Washington and British Columbia ) fish in the rivers for Salmon ( Real slamon, not Kob ) up there.
They back troll them in teh rivers from boats. pretty strange way of fishing but they pull some fish thats for sure and if nothing else, the yanks can fish!
I saw alot of guys fishing this way when I was living up in BC.

Guys the way the okes fish these rigs in the Rivers of the Pacific Northwest for Steelhead is called back trolling with plugs that look like giant Lazy Ikes ( you old school bass fisherman will be familiar of with these
) with strips or fillets of Herring/Anchovy tied to them.
Basically how it works is they anchor midstream and upriver of where they want there lure to sit, then let line out till the lure is in the desired area, then engage the reel and let the current do the work on the lures action.... basically its like trolling without moving.... It works in these instances for a number of reasons.
1 - Steelhead tend to pick a lie or hole in selected areas of the river and hold there for a length of time, anywhere from an hour to a couple days. The anglers acn figure out these lies, and thereby get there lure to the exact spot, and have it working right in front of the fishes nose enticing them to eat.
2 - The addition of the fillet to the plug means that it does give off a little scent, creating a mini chum slick/scent to the fish sitting down stream of the plug, so if they are just off, it can bring them closer to the lure, and hopefully entice a bite.
To be honest, I dunno how well it would work in our conditions, and certainly on our plugs, may screw up the action completely when adding the strip of fillet.
However, those of you who use deep jigging vertical spoons while fishing offshore can sometimes improve your odds by adding a squid strip trailer to the rear hook, or a couple tentacles onto the hook. This is usually only used if fishing for slow moving bottom species where the extra scent might help entice a fish to hit the lure...Works well on big leadheads too. I took my biggest hottentot at the bellows of Cape Point on a 1 oz Bucktail Leadhead with a fresh chokka strip trailer on it, a Hottie that was nearly 4.5 kilos! The commercials on the boat next to us nearly shat themsleves when they saw the fish come over the side!!
