My mom tells me as i ask her if she can drive me to the grocery store, if the shrimp should be cooked(like boiled), or uncooked? That's my only question. Thanks.

Just use it raw. It works perfectly fine.
-
Raw prawns/shrimp work best. You can also add a little bit of procure, then dry them out for a day or so. Tight lines..
-
Use them both, If you decide to use them raw dry and cure them so they stay on the hook longer. I prefer cooked as I can fish all day with one piece.
-
How do you guys tend rig them on your hook?

One piece? You must be using a barb for one piece to stay on your hook all day.....Seriously?
I use cooked prawns that I use cured and scented and I go through 30-50 in a day....
Naka, I tend to just put the hook through one side and out the other....
-
Holly cupcakes 50? Unless you catch at least 20 rainbows, WOW. Maybe you are using it too rough.. I used raw without cure(i didnt know) and use 10 in 5 hours saltwater(Shore FAR casting).. Dont know how you spend it ???
-
Holly **** 50?
Watch your language please. You've already been warned once before.

I use about 4 pieces of bait per 1 to 1.5 hours. Selectively tied or roe sacked to last the time limit. That way i'm fishing rather than baiting up. Shrimp or shrimp with egg (head) type set ups. Just the set up I use right now.
Changing up is the real deal though. Should have a thread on targeted fishing set ups again.
-
Slide it on the hook than wrap it with spider thread. This will make it last longer.

I've been using $3 frozen shrimp rings with some salt.
I hook thru them near the tail then tuck the tail shell portion under my bait loop to keep it there. Lasts a long time.

It'd almost be more practical to stay home and eat the prawns!! :o ;D.
-
I double thread the hook through one piece, which tightens itself on the hook and allows for a spinning motion if placed right.
-
Cooked if u want to eat em.
Uncooked if you want the fish to eat em ;D
forget the condiments and just go raw ;D
Bluesteele

Ok im not gonna eat them so probably raw! Thanks
-
--might want to try soft plastic like compleat angler prawnbroker or shrimp and if area allows bait fishsticks lure enhancer added to the soft plastic, can get cryogenic shrimp scent which contains real shrimp and salt.
--the scent can be applied to lures as well, again where no bait ban only.
--not for human consumption soft plastics with scent looks as good as the real thing. also might survive some casting and catching abuse that real shrimp wouldn't.

I tend to use raw. I'll pro-cure them sometimes, and sometimes I'll use whole, but most times I'll just use a smaller chunk (1/2 to 1/3 of a prawn or even smaller in fine water) because that's what I have on hand instead of deli shrimp. I often wondered if they would become ineffective after long usage, but I've caught fish after the bait's been on for quite a while, and is almost white with a little pink or orange, and looks... a lot... like... pink wool. Hmmmmm....
-
1) How do you go about 'curing them'?
2)When used raw, do you need to remove some of the external shell?
Thanx
-
What i did is took the shells off, and put them in a bowl the night before fishing and put core salt and pro cure on them.
the core salt dries them out, sucks up the moisture, and the procure turns them purple =)
you can get pro cure at a tackle shop, core salt at grocery stores.
-
i can go through half a shrimp ring a day. once the shrimp is water logged , shredded and has lost its smell(and color) change it up. you dont leave bleached out roe bags on all day do you? honestly if your fishing with 1 prawn all day your doing it wrong and you could be fishing with white wool or a white plastic worm and be just as effective.
