Hookin' crickets
How do you hook a cricket? I would like to try them but figure I'll mush 'em up pretty good before I found the best way to hook 'em.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

I use a #8 long shank aberdeen hook and stick the point in their butt hole and thread them on and make the hook come out just below the head at the "collar". I think they struggle more when they're upside down, and it's harder for the gills to steal the cricket when he's threaded on the whole hook.

Hoping to use some when I go trout fishin' in a few weeks. I know the trouts up in SW Wiscoland go crazy for crickets.

Yeah, the Troot also love the live crawlers too! Those Troots are good eatin' if they come from clean water.:p

I use a #6 or #8 long shank hook and stick it first in the segment between the head and the thorax and then turn the hook and stick it in the butt.

Tried crickets today, how the heck do ya get ahold of them without smashing the hell outta them, spent more time chasing them and trying to position them in my hand to skewer them than it was worth, i need to find a source for suicidal crickets that'll impale themselves! :-)
Hey, catchin' fish is easy, finding thems the hard part.
