Driftfishing Rags

[Cdn-Redneck]

Have you ever heard or used this tecnique for steelhead or salmon? I was looking for some info about fishing in Washington and they were talking about drifting rags vs. wool. Well curiosity got the best of me so I googled it and I found out it is a piece of small diameter float material which is threaded onto the leader with a small bead above the hook. Thru the float material you thread some wool thrun the sides. It would work good for flossing sockeye I think. I did something similar a couple of years ago when I put some wool thru an egg loop and a foam earplug onto the leader for sockeye. It worked good. Here is a pic,
