Liketofish, this is my ghost shrimp imitation. it works very well. I caught lots of fish with it, and you don't need to buy a ocean license to pump the stuff.
It is very simple to make. See illustration:
1. Tie a long shrank hook (size 2/O or 3/O) with a bait loop.
2. Put on the ghost shrimp colour yarn, like chartreuse & red, plus peach, organge or cherise if you like but chartreuse and red are the ones used in catching this steelie.
3. Put on a small grup, so the tentacles are like the shrimp tentacles/legs, quite tentalizing to the fish.
4. Tie a copper wire to the hook eye. At fishing time, impale a small deli-shrimp to the hook point and use the wire to wrap around the shrimp to hold it in place.
Now you have a deadly weapon - good visible colours of a ghost shrimp, life-like movement of the tentacles, and the shrimp scent. You can drift in real slow water or fast water, and it works well and holds well. Save the gas & license fees to pump the real stuff.
It is not the real thing, but close enough and easy to make. Now if only I know how to put the eyes on.
Enjoy and experience with it. Good luck.
