Green label does refer to size. We typically get red label smallest. Green blue purple and black and horse in increasing size.

I use whole herring. Cut plugs don't last long enuf for me since I'm too lazy to brine my bait.

Big discussion on spin roll or nothing for herring. All three have followers. Mine spins though I prefer a roll. But I've caught too many fish to switch. I close the mouth and insert hook point as close to the tip of snout from the side. Then re-insert hook point into the collar area. Trailer hook follows bait freely an inch to a foot behind. Closer if in fishing halibut. Longer if I'm strictly trolling.

If you cut plug baits. Try cutting the head off and attaching to a single hook like above. Herring head spinners outperform cut plugs for cohos at least. Great for mooching too.
