How to rig bait shrimp suggestion

Post by Tombo »

I follow a fellow on youtube and he comes up with some simple ideas. One that intrigued me was a simple loop knot about the dead shrimp tail to help keep it on the hook.

Easy way to do it for sure! Once you land a heavy fish and the mono gets another knot it means another breaking point as knots are the first failure in line breaking.
I have a large stock of "Miracle thread" and it works great for shrimp. You can wrap the whole shrimp and keep it longer without fish being biting pieces off.
Here is the generic thread I bought on EBay.
