I always wanted to do that, but didn't know how to keep him alive.[/quote:4a1ea3ac91]

I use a Texas-rig, through the tail, after pinching the tail flippers off--straight as possible. They don't stay alive--It doesn't matter--"live or dead, just not red" is the saying.

Really liked that :lol:
I always thought that if the shrimp was alive it would attract more fish attention, though.

You'd think so, but it doesn't really seem to make much difference.

i personally go through the head, just before the little brain and they seem to stay alive for about 10-15min, if you aint gettin a bite by then its time to move anyway...
