Pelagear

Pelagear resembles baitfish such as smelt, herring, vendace or bleak - those shiny, typically silver-plated parts of the food chain.

Cut open belly ribs for a more elastic action.
Cut the head off behind gill line for ball-head hook.

You can rig a normal ballhead, and if the presentation feels unnatural with a whole lure, you can cut the head of the bait off, and the ball or fishhead hook
sits better.

Bigger size is a perfect tool for pike anglers in spots where is plenty of seaweed. Rig Pelagear 8" with #8-12 offset hook and you can fish also deep amongs seaweed.
