Coon Shrimp rig.
Here is how we hook our Coon Shrimp. Very simple, but hard to explain without a visual. Here you go. Hit the second plate up, and thread the hook about midway into the meat. Bring it down towords yourself, and out through the top, center of the rear portion of the head. Then slip the tail through ther bait loop Simple, easy, and effective. We have found this to be the most preferred method of hooking these little bugs. Oh, and when running stingers, put these on the top hook, and run about an inch, inch and a half between the top and bottom hook. A corkie in between can either help or hurt these. They are already fairly bouyant, so the choice is yours. Water flow, and depth would determine corkie, or not.
