I just cut the shrimp to the size I want (never used it whole) put it in a ziplock bag then sprinkle Pautzke Fire Cure on it. Put it in the refrigerator. It is done by the next day and I just put in a new bag and then go fishing.

Natural live is best each and every time:-$ , drift fishing,:-$ float fishing and the best behind the sticks using the bait divers:cheers: and live ghost shrimp set up is flat our A Grade deadly working the entire hole and edges and pushing the divers deep into the tail outs they just cannot say no! :-$ :bounce: :chef: :cheers:
