How To Hook Shrimp The CORRECT Way
Ойын-сауық
Want to know how to hook a shrimp on a jig-head like the pro guides do?
Click here to see the full blog post: www.saltstrong.com/articles/h...
Here's the deal:
It's a known fact that shrimp are one of the best live (or dead) baits for saltwater fishing. Why? Because pretty much every predator fish in the ocean eats shrimp (kind of like humans - we all love shrimp - except maybe vegans... they aren't quite right...).
But it's also a known fact among fishing guides that shrimp are one of the most likely baits to be rigged incorrectly (by all anglers - not just noobs).
So yes, there is a correct way to rig shrimp (and an incorrect way - that Capt. Mark Johnson covers in the video as well).
Here are the key things to remember when rigging shrimp (either on a jig head or a fishing hook) the correct way:
1) pinch the end of the tail off first
2) thread the hook through the shrimp's body starting at the tail end (where the tail used to be)
3) ALWAYS make sure the hook point comes through the top of the shrimp's body (never the legs)
4) cast and catch
5) repeat
Remember, legs facing out is the way to go.
Any other shrimp rigging tips that have worked well for you?
Let us know down in the comments.

This is an awesome tip. This also keeps the shrimp on the hook rather than easily losing it on cast
Thanks for the tip! I always lean towards squid for bait on the left coast because it’s hard for fish to steal, but I think I’m gonna try shrimp on my next outing.
Since the beginning of time all the shrimp that have lived and died how unlucky this guy was to have been here and now for this video 😂

Great tip. Thank you for that.
Thanks Buddy. I can't to get out there and try this!
Thanks! Perfect every time !
Although it takes away the ability of the shrimp to kick, it is a great presentation in my opinion because shrimp tend to swim backwards get fleeing from predator fish. I like it.
Very well instructed video.
Great video mate 👍
Nice sir.nxt time i will try this tips.thanks
How to butcher ur bait...the CORRECT way!🤣🤣🤣
I literally ate lunch, watched this video, then went out on a fishing pier and did this, I caught a stingray. Then I put a pyrimid wait on the end of it to just let it sit and I swear I caught about 10 fish that day using a jig and live shrimp, my line broke like 7 times so I need a stronger line next time. Amazing experience and only way I’m going to ocean fish, when I’m on the lake I fish with a frog always works for my large mouth bass.
Great information, very helpful, thanks for sharing!!!

What size jig head are you using and are you in 2,8, or bottom fishing?
What brand/size jig head are you using? I tried that technique today (7/29/2020) . My shrimp did not hook flat.
Straight murdered this thing
Thanks for the tip, because of this, I was aple to catch a juvenile spottail shark, pretty rough guy to say the least.
Good setup for dead shrimp, but rigging a live shrimp this way just doesn’t make any sense.

I agree. People may argue, but your paying extra for live shrimp for a reason. To have them alive. Hooking a live shrimp even in the simplest way would still end up killing the shrimp over a short period of time. So ripping off part of the body and hooking the shrimp from tail to body doesn't help one bit of it living any longer.

Ryan Kissee of course it makes sense... smh how are you arguing with a man who does this for a living?? You don’t think he knows it works??? Smh
Good business salt strong you taught me something man.
Hello there, I had a problem with hooking the live shrimp on top of it head.(behind the horn) whenever I cast it, it slide off easily from my hook and lost me quite a few live shrimp I don't what is wrong?! I'm using gamakatsu octopus circle hook for it though...
There were no shrimps harmd on the making of this video
He didn’t explain why the tail needed to come off. It’s like telling you to do it a certain way but not really explaining why it’s done this way. For everything else he did a Fantastic Job, with a good explanation on each of the methods.

Great question! Make sure to ask this over in the Community (www.saltstrong.com/) where the coaches spend their time.
What size jig are you using?
This video is incomplete without showing the technique for fishing a live shrimp that is rigged in this manner. Do you fish it like a jig (slow retrieve and bouncing off the bottom) with the shrimp moving backwards??
Thank you
awesome!!! thx
How would you rig a silverside
Can I bait in a similar fashion with an octopus circle hook?

Same deal. I think its better and the shrimp may actually move n attract a fish
Does it matter if the shrimp is alive or dead?

No shrimps were harmed in the filming of this video, lols ;)
My husband and I went fishing and were putting the shrimp in head first. That’s the way the man at the bait shop told us to do it and we did. Every time we’d throw the line in we’d get a bit just to pull it up to be disappointed and our shrimp gone. Maybe there guy didn’t know any better OR he knew a way to get people coming back for more. Either way thank you for this helpful tip. We will definitely try this tomorrow and hopefully catch some fish.
