Back when I was a kid, we hooked minnows thru the back, behind the dorsal fin. I have no idea about what was correct. That was just the way we did it. Just Sayin...RJS

I do lips for casting and trolling, back under a bobber.

I follow Iowa Farmer's methods. When trolling or fishing in current I hook the minnows through both lips, from the bottom up. When fishing stationery I hook the minnow through the back and suspend
it under a bobber. I have seen some fisherman hook the minnow underneath near the tail so they struggle to right themselves and create an injured presentation which sometimes works. Don.

I hook them through the eye sockets. Does anyone else do that? They seem to live a long time.

In through the mouth , out at the back of the head or through the eyes or behind the dorsal fin. All three work
