This is my first year that I think I am really going to use live shrimp more often. I've always just used plastic.

So, my question is: Is there a preferred hook to use with live shrimp?

I am currently using a regular J hook 2/0, I think.

Just wondering what the OB has to say.

I use an 8 or 10 treble hook depending on the size of the shrimp. Hook the shrimp in the head in front of the brain. That's it.

I like a kahle hook when fishing live bait. Especially if you're occasionally hooking a catfish.

I like the j hooks so I can switch back and forth from plastic to live bait
