>>2859607>Does the colour matter on the shrimp? Or is it “hurr durr bright thing moving fast = tasty” ?both true to an extend, you want the fish to see your lure (that's why you use dark lures in muddy waters) you want it to look like it's natural preys, and you want to have it moving at a natural pace (like jigging, you reel while jerking the line by lifting your rod to create a motion)
but some fishes will eat whatever sit at the bottom because it's still food, or won't need you to move it because it's a live shrimp that move on it's own
as for the drag you want just enough resistance for your hook to pierce the flesh of the fish, so a bit but not so much, and then you set it depending on how hard the fish can pull, you never want the fish to not be able to pull a bit, it's your security that prevent line/rod break
and depending on where you live shrimp can catch about anything, which include potentially dangerous fishes (venomous fins or similar that will stab you, mouths that can crunch your fingers while retrieving the hook, so you need pliers, sharp gill plates that will slice open your hand if you hold the wish wrong, etc...)
