Rated 4 out of 5Â by Stripermaniac Still the Best, but pricey
I you are going fishing on the flats or near mangroves do yourself a favor and buy a few packs of these before you hit the water. Tackle shops in Florida charge a fortune for these lures near the water.
The 3 inch size weighs a 1/4 ounce and has a nice slow sink for shallow water and a smaller presentation.
The 4 inch size is listed as a 1/2 ounce and sinks more quickly with a larger profile besides a slightly longer length.
Recently I caught some huge reds, many trout, flounder, and a jack on the same 4" shrimp. With a little superglue repair these shrimp will land many fish before finally being destroyed.
The TKO shrimp is A LOT cheaper but it is a little stiffer and offers no scent. I like to add an aftermarket scent to these baits to offer a little more attraction, especially in stained water.
This Gator trout fell for a 4" rootbeer and gold glitter D.O.A. on the flats.

I fished the DOA shrimp on an intercoastal waterway in Florida for just a few minutes and caught a flounder and lost a big fish that took me down into the rocks three times before finally busting me off. They look like the real thing.

DOA shrimp are easily my favorite lure out there. They catch everything from snook to trout to tripletail. Work 'em fast and with a slow reel and a twitch. My favorite color was glow/gold rush but BPS apparently doesnt have those. Either way these last long and I would definitely recommend purchasing them to anyone who is interested. Sometimes you have to be patient with them but other times its the only thing that fish (especially snook) want. Overall a great product, the only downsides are they're a little expensive and don't cast very far unless you but the 1/2 oz ones.

The DOA shrimp is fantastic. I can keep up with live bait guys all day long (except 1).
I took me months to learn how to work this lure. Move it slow then stop. I get about 30% of my trout hits when the bait is falling.
This month I have been catching flounder - 1 today. I don't have a boat so I bridge fish. This lure works as good as anything out there.
In dirty water I use the bright green and natural in clear water. Fish with the tide or across it.
In swift water I add a 1/8 or 1/4 bullet weight above my leader. Lots os times I just tie the lure on the line and go.

I will be fishing in Pine Island Sound around Cayo Costa in March. What colors do you recommend for trout, redfish and snook?

A generic answer to a specific question would be this.In clear water try for a very neutral pattern, like rootbeer.
In stained water or in low light I use a color that offers more contrast. Some people swear by the DOAs with chartreuse tails. I like a lighter color with either silver or gold glitter.
In my opinion a natural pattern is always a safer bet when you are unsure what to select.
Good luck and try to work them pretty slow.
A:Â
Best advice would be to match the type of bait that's currently present. If it's a murky day, go with a brighter colored bait, such as one with a chartreuse tail. From personal experience, I've had the best luck with gold, silver, and white colors, but the only way to find out is to fish with them. Best of luck to you!!Details:Â
I recently bought a few of the D.O.A Shrimp hoping to catch trout, redfish, and snook with them. I have heard great reviews about them but I can't seem to get anything to bite it. How should I work this lure or what techniques should be used when fishing this?Answers
A:Â
Depends where you're fishing but around mangroves you gotta cast in close in there and work it faster than you think you should. On the grass just bounce it on the bottom and the trout will usually hit when its fallingA:Â
You must fish this slow and get it to the bottom. try a bullet weight - less is better - I get redfish trout and flounder all the time I only use lures and almost exclusively DOA shrimpEverything hits it look at the photo even a tiny puffer wanted a bite

You will have to find where the fish are schooling. Redfish spook very easy and must be quiet getting up to them, casting from as far away as you can. I have used my trolling motor to get in as close as I can, sometimes when getting to an area I know is a favorite spot for them to be. Be patient, as they will come back into the area if there is food there. Then you can hook on.Answers

Painfully slowly. If you think you're fishing it too slow, slow down anyway. You want to mimic a live shrimp creeping along. Fish WILL eat it.A:Â
This is a go-to bait in the gulf coast and Florida used for speckled trout (Specs)I fished this bait on the Texas coast almost every day for 9 mos... Hail to the King
There's only one way to fish DOA Shrimp.
Cast out far as possible real in slow.. Ridiculously SLOW!
DOA has engineered these baits with an internal weight to keep the shrimp upright when it hit's the water, if you buy another brand shrimp well Don't do that! OK

How much does the 3" and 4" weight?Answers
A:Â
1/4 and 1/2 oz - I thought the 1/2 oz would be easier to get to bottom but it is not. The larger size compensates for the extra weight so the tide keeps it up. I went back to 1/4 oz only
