Here is a characteristic or habit of big prawn eating:

 1. If the shrimp weighs 300 gm, the bait will hold the bait then continue to run and the rod tip down curvy.

2. For the medium size shrimp,rod ends will be held and pulled. This is because the shrimp eat slowly until the rod tip will plunge like a small fish that eat.

 3. For small-sized shrimp are usually diets similar to those of medium size, we should often to 'monitor' by raising the rod tip and when there are heavy feel so the bait is eaten.

At the bait is eaten by shrimp,the rod will bend, we do not hold the rod because maybe will miss. sometimes shrimp not likely fish,so do not hold the rod. Lift the rod slowly while slowly winding reel with the rod tip position above the shrimp so strap perpendicular to the surface of the water. Shrimp usually when exposed hook will hold backwards and bend his body, if yanked or pulled too strong will make its mouth ripped by the hook and miss
