Peeler Crabs

Kinda want to live’n this board up. So I’ll ask for help.

How do you hook a Gulp P.Crab? I am clueless, I figure for a 3rd line I would fish this type of bait. If it is a “lazy” bait I figure I can just drop it straight down (or out alittle) and let the movement of the yak rocking move the bait also.
Where and what size hook. I have 2" crabs.

I hooked them from the side of the body by the legs so it looked like it was walking with a small splitshot about 6inches from the hook

Bill, I do what stillfishing said. I use a 2/0 Circle hook through the rear of the crab, with either split shot or a small egg sinker a few inches from the crab. Just chuck it out, and let it sit. I have had great luck with this rig in the warmer tailing months with just the hook and crab, minus the weight.

GO NOLES!!! At least we are not Notre Dame!!!

thanks

gotta rig those crabs on a circle. weedless is key. its a little tricky to make this happen on the crab and make it “walk” or “sit” naturally. i wish i could show ya, but it would be too hard to say online.

this is the perfect bait for tailers once it warms up! right dave? remember kiawah?
