Shrimp For Steelies

[fish_fishburn]

Just wondering what type of shrimp people use, how to cure them/or do anything to them and how to present the shrimp.

I've wrapped small chunks of frozen ones to my Kwikfish with moderate success - Works better with medium sized or bigger lures. Saw guys on a TV show wrapping sardines around one and thought I'd try it with shrimp we were going to have for dinner instead.

 

Don't leave them in your wading jacket for a week unrefrigerated like I did...It wasn't pretty

Thanks MJL but I was thinking along the lines of drifting them under a float or maybe on bottom with a small split shot.I'm just not sure how you would rig them or if they would have to be preped first.

I would assume a "Ledger Rig" (I think the folks in England call 'em)... would be best, with some type of float to get it a few feet higher off the ground?

Used to wrap em in pink mesh just like tying roe and put a corkie infront of them for bottom bouncing the Niagara.

Smaller raw shrimp.
