    I found that you have to hypnotize them first
    I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

    I can believe it, I looked like a Keystone Kop out there on my knees with a ball cap trying to catch that bug and talk it into holding still while i ran a fish hook through his butt.
    Hey, catchin' fish is easy, finding thems the hard part.

    Got any pictures or even better... video? Rofl

    The one time I used a cricket I just hooked it through him and tossed it out there. Body was pretty smashed and oozing all kinds of stuff. The trout loved it.

    I keep two cricket containers, one larger one to hold the majority of the crickets, and a smaller one that has the a funnel on the end to use for the ones I am fishing with immediately. The funnel allows you to get one into your hand then its just a matter of being gentle, yet firm, as you put them on the hook (Not that the cricket probably thinks being put on a hook is gentle or anything!) Like others I find going through the back just behind the head and down through the butt works best.
    Remember, its the second mouse that gets the cheese.

    Okay, stupid question, how do ya get them in the funnel container, the ones i get come in a large cup with a dial contraption on the top.
