Used up my small hoochies so went a bit big here. Hopefully I'll report some success with this goofy thing.

Looks fishable. If your hitting Tillamook bay send me a pm for the latest catch location my neighbors did good today.

Two words for ya:  Trailing..... Hook

That does look like a winner, even without it though.

I'll say, that's a great looking fish. You guys should repurpose the plant hanger (behind the guy in the picture) and deem it the official fish hanger  ;D

I've been having a lot of success catching lake trout using 5 inch long B-2 squid rigs with a treble hook, behind a dodger.  I want to add trailing hooks to these rigs to improve my hookup rate, and have been wrestling with the best way to add a trailing single hook behind the treble hook.  What is your recommendation for how to add a trailing hook?

You could simply create the equivalent of a snelled mooching rig but with a treble hook replacing the front hook.

By the size of it,  I am assuming it is for salmon?  Is there a species that is not limited to number of barbless hooks a lure or bait utilizes ?
I used to think that Bigfoot might exist. Then I saw the reality shows where they are looking for them.  Now I am certain they don't

Good color. That was the hot color a few years back at Tillamook. I saw a 25 lb nook took caught on one.
