There are two main methods: through the tail or through the head, depending on your fishing style.
Gently insert the hook point near the base of the shrimp's tail, avoiding major organs, and push it out near the top.

Handle the shrimp with care and avoid puncturing vital organs to maintain its liveliness
For bottom fishing, consider hooking the shrimp through the head, just above the carapace, for a sturdier hold
07
Carefully insert the hook point through the top of the head, avoiding the brain, and push it out the top.
Cast gently with a tail-hooked shrimp to avoid injuring it. A head-hooked shrimp allows for a stronger cast

Keep your live shrimp in a bait bucket with cool, aerated water to maintain their vitality
With your shrimp securely hooked, cast your line and wait for hungry fish to be lured in
