Lake Fork Live Swimming Shrimp!

We fished these last week in Galveston, wooo. They work wonders as red fish killer! We soaked ours in a quart of Gulp Shrimp to make them nice and smelly then wacky rigged them and dragged them on the bottom popping them up and down just like a bass fisherman. The action in the tail is what I believe it's major selling point. Sure it's designed for as a swimbait, but I thought to myself, mmm, why not present it like a dying shrimp.

DOA and Gulp are a little stiff, err, well they give off a more natural presentation when wacky rigged. However, the LF Shrimp is flaring and prancing around like Richard Simmons in a Gay Day Parade. Lots of lively action.

On the windy, nasty, murky days we had in Galvestoin this bait was perfect, I am not saying it out fishes Gulp but when you are trying to attract the fish via movement this bait works. Throw it in a bin of Gulp stink sauce and get a ultra lively and smelly bait.

All I am saying is that this bait works wonders while wacky rigged.

Yep. Use strong hooks Owner and Mustad circle hooks offset or large trebles. We used random hooks, mostly live bait hooks.
