How to Hook a Peeler Crab
Peeler crabs are a very popular bait used by fisherman to attract and catch a variety of fish. Their small bodies make them the perfect size for baiting a fishing hook. Peeler crabs, however, must be correctly prepared and strung onto the hook, or they will either fall off or not attract any bites. The process of preparing peeler crabs to be put on a hook is very straightforward, and extremely simple to learn. The process only takes more or less 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Peeler crabs can be purchased from any bait shop.
