A Shrimp Walker hook is really a rigging system for live shrimp and crawfish. The hook is made up of (3) parts: - Carbon steel hook - ABS plastic clip - Proprietary surgical mounting rubber. The hook mounts to the carapace or shell of the animal without harming it. This allows the animal to stay alive swimming naturally until fish strike. Keeping bait alive and active for a long period of time is very beneficial to fishermen since fish are much more attracted to live swimming bait than to dead bait.

In salt water, "ALL" fish eat shrimp. Live shrimp is "hands down" the best bait for catching fish inshore or offshore on reefs. Some species caught on the Shrimp Walker are snook, redfish, sheepshead, all snapper species, grouper, sea trout and all species of jack and more. In fresh water, the Shrimp Walker can be used on crawfish just as easily as on a shrimp. Bass and all other freshwater species like walleye, trout and pike LOVE crawfish.

Because the Shrimp Walker does not harm the shrimp or crawfish the bait stays alive much longer giving fishermen a much better chance of catching fish.
