Crack the shell with a hammer to get the Hermit out and put it on the hook whole. It's a fairly soft bait so most will also use a piece of crab on the same hook so if they steal the hermit there is still something to keep them interested.

alright. so I kept 35 out of the 36 alive. just soaked like ten paper towels in saltwater. layered two towels per single layer of crabs. made sure there was no ecess water. threw them in the fridge overnight. the germits stayed alive until 3 pm the day after.

just wanted to let u guys know of a emergency method in case you aren't by a dock like me.
