Stay on pretty good for me. Sometime even catch more than one fish from the same cricket. run hook through the butt and come out right under the crickets chin. Worms are messy and ya get ya hands all black, not a big deal but i would rather not have to wipe my hands on my pants all the time. I use redworms for crakcers cause they hit em better than crickets, but if not for that im either using crickets or if you can get em I also like grass shrimp (this may be a southern thing, dont know if you can get em all over)
