I prepare my live shrimp thru the razor also because I feel the shrimp gets the best movt under or around the cork and having the correct small lite weight hook is key.....however I have found that trout or more of the nibblers so to speak not the reds....I have had reds just bust the bait or grab it slowly and walk away and then you realize you have a big red on the hook....the trout however, I have had all sizes just straight up "rob" my bait off the hook like a mouse taking cheese off a rat trap lol....nibbles around and such, you get confused thinking its just bait hitting ur line because many trash baits are doing so but don't let the trout accidently get hooked lol, they take off like you caught them stealing your lunch money lol and its fish on!!!.....I have found when the shrimp is aggressively moving around in the water under the cork, the trout don't waste any time playing around, they bust the hook like a red esp if they are 2lbs and up...if im Carolina rigged, they don't have a chance to sneak me.....lol...I can feel a "shrimp hair" hitting my hook and I set on anything that bumps the hook lol
