Just learned a new way to fish a doa the other day, I work at Lott Brothers a tackle shop in North palm and was talkin to this guy that comes in there all the time about snook fishing bridges and he said instead of a flair hawk to take a 3" shrimp and take the hook out then put it on a 1/4oz round jig head and fish it just like a flair hawk. Based on the pics I've seen of the fish he's caught lately it works! he's got one well over 40" on this and plenty of keepers.

when you put a doa shrimp underneith a bobber make sure your leader is long enough that the lure is able to touch the bottom if it doesnt trust me you wont catch fish.

Also work it in all the way i dont know what it is but when i use doa i always get my bites close to the boat

they are great! even better lure is the doa shrimp with the rattle bobber. it attracts the fish when they hear the popping of the bobber and you can tell more better when they take and which way to set the hook when the bobber goes down.:D

Great snook trout and redfish lure. The best color is the glow back gold glitter bottom. I throw it out let it sink, rell in slack pop it out of the grass, let it sink repeat. Another tricl i learned from Mark himself is take the small 2" shrimp and tie it to a clacker. Just let it sit, I caught a red in mosquito lagoon doing that while my dad and friend caught nothing. i haven't tried it since though. i tend to use the cal jerk bait and shad tail more though.

i second that, but no snook, reds or tarpon, :(, but the jerkbait, i found out, skips better then the shrimp, i just fish with it more, so i got it down lOL, i skip it underreally low branches on the lake where the bigguns sit and eat little bluegill, yes bass

also, just cast it out, and twitch it slowly dude, adn let it sit, then a sharp twitch, let it fall 3 reels, and so on, thats how i use it, and the bass eat it up like nothing, had the same ol shrimp for the passed like 3 years and they still work great, cept i got a new one with the floating rig, and htat thing works great too, but i use it now for live bait for the smaller lake, those bass dont hit lures at all, just live fishies...

good luck mang

The 3-inch glow shrimp is amazing. I caught my first snook with Blair on one. I have also caught trout, bass, cuda, redfish, bluefish, sanpper, grouper, jacks, scorpion fish, tarpon, permit, and shark off of them, to name just a few.

yea doa shrimp, a good back up lure or primary, every fish can be caught on em. but be carefull about where u use them, keep away from the flats or places with loads of puffers or u just threw a dollar fifty in the water, cause they are not meant to be fast worked lures, and the puffers will get em. i have every doa products, the terroreyes work well, the baitbuster is good in the flats, and the cal series, to me, its like every other soft plastic bait, but some ppl swear by them.

definitely one of the best lures i have ever used and i would highly recomend it. absolutely any thing and everything will hit them i have caught trout, reds, bluefish, spanish, even bass these lures are by far probably one of my favorite and most used lures that i use today and i met mark nichols in person at a regional florida sportsman fishing show and watched his siminars and i own his video on how to use his lures

i def recomend the lure and also recomend that you buy the video on how to work them it helps out so much

def probably one of the best all around lures i have ever used i slay the trout and reds with these under the docks :)

Try it u'll like it. Locate the fish, cast it out, let it sink, bring it in with a jerk of the rod tip every 2-3 seconds, and i heard u can add a splitshot like 10 in from the bait to keep it down there.

i love them, get the shrimp kit with dvd at bass pro for 25 (when its on sale) and after watching the dvd you'll start catching tons of fish and the same techniques work on all lures
