Prawn help

[Perfect Drift]

I need help with how to rig prawns on the
egg loop. They are so big and stiff, unlike sandshrimp that are soft.
How do you rig them and keep it from spinning.

[David Johnson]

Most the time you want them to spin.

DJ, do they go head up or head down?

If you are talking about plunking, use magic thread (stretchy fine thread) and wrap them around the hook shank. This works for prawn tails being fished behind a spin 'n glow. Wrap snugly and then apply some half hitches to secure. This keeps the bait from flinging off the hook when casting.
