These have to be a killer lure around estuaries and around rough ground.
Rigged backwards and jigged or hopped along the sand.


This is even better :

I have been looking at these, where did you order them

[Eoghan]

eBay in the end. Pack of 4. Gotta be worth a go. I bet wrasse and even pollock will love em.

Got a link to the eBay shrimp?

[Eoghan]

I can get it. Henry's have em too but not the colour I wanted.

[bassboy]

South side have them they look class gonna get a few

[Eoghan]

These have to be amazing for wrasse too..! Can you imagine working one slowly along the bottom in between rocks etc, wrasse will chew em up.

I was looking at these before I saw your post:

Might go for the Savage Gears instead/as well.... lot of colours tho, decisions decisions.

They look amazing but I wonder if they are meant for a fly rod?

There is a blog post somewhat related.

I have seen them rigged backwards on a Texas rig too.

So they dart around backwards like a prawn, they did look the part.

Great idea! Can't wait too see how this goes. Big flatfish are sure to be interested.

Ah no. I was thinking to use them off the boat as is, but to demount and re-rig some for dusk/dark shore work.
Will try them on weighted worm hooks where the weight is wrapped on the hook shank, that should help.

Its important to rig these backwards, they look more natural and prawns defend themselves by swimming backwards, any fish that sees this will attack. I have also seen a Smoothound taken from the shore by something similar a good few years back. Can't wait to try these out.

Yeah I kept a marine tank for years with 3 different types of shrimp so got a good idea of how they react when threatened. Leap of faith lure but I think they will work great!
