Baiting with Shrimp

Does anyone care to comment on the right way to put a shrimp on a hook? My brother in law insists the best place is through the tail. I think under the hard shell just behind the head.

live or dead?
live I’ll hook thru the tail or under the horn. Be careful not to hit the neural tube/mass and they stay alive long enough to get eaten.

I hook shrimp in the last section by the tail and hook minnows by the tail. They seem to live longer for me and the minnow flops around more.

good information here. jan
