top tips there from the boys!!!! floats are the best for em, and they LOVE the rag!!! another tip given to me from someone was to===> make your float rig,
at the end where you normally put ur hook,
attach a gemini clip (used for wieghts),
then get a trebler (treble hook),
leave everything on the crab besides peeling the main shell and under-neath,
now put the shaft of the trebler up thru the crab with the 3 hooks from the trebler up into its body
it should still be alive if its not dont worry bout it, now just attach the trebler onto the gemini clip
the whole idea is to give the impretion the crab is swimming when they are still alive!!!!!
AND AWAY YOU GO!!!!! HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!
