Question 1

What is the best way to hook a crawdad?

Hook him through the tough horn up by his head.
Hook him through the top side of the tail.
Hook him through the bottom side of the tail.
Hook him through the claws.
When hooking your live crawdad, hook him through the tough horn up by his head. This allows the bait to live longer and the bass won’t get belly hooked. The bass eats the crawdad tail first.

Question 2

Proper technique for Down Shotting?

Cast your set up into the weeds. Retieve it slowly stopping every few seconds.
Cast your rig out, let it sink to the bottom, upon hitting the bottom, retrieve it and repeat the process. The
Let the sinker-hit bottom. Shake the “Down Shot “ rig up and down, pull the worm towards you slowly. Lift your rod tip about 2 to 4 inches at a time. Use a steady shake.
The presentation is very simple. Make a cast the same as a Texas or Carolina rig. Let the sinker-hit bottom. Shake the “Down Shot “ rig up and down, pull the worm to towards you slowly. Lift your rod tip about 2 to 4 inches at a time. Use a steady shake. This is about the same motion as shaken a Texas rigged. What you will find is that the fish will either hammer the bait or you will just fell the line just load up. When you get bit, set the hook at once. If you fill your line load up set the hook. I can’t tell you how many times I had a fish on and thought it was a stick or a rock. The more you use the “Down Shot “ rig , the more feel you will develop. When using the longer worm, you will find that some fish bite the worm in half. You will miss a few fish with the longer worm. With the smaller worm you will not miss as many fish.
