Product Information
- Popping Corks for Saltwater Fishing: Popping corks serve several important functions for inshore fishing and can be used with artificial lures or natural bait. It helps deliver offerings to the best areas, suspends them in the strike zone, calls fish from afar and urges the gamefish into feeding mode;
- Catch more fish: Popping corks for saltwater draw fish from afar. The corks make a big sound, pulling fish from a much broader area than the path the rig travels, making it extra good for fish finding. And it allows you to present a bait slowly at a measured depth and keep it in the strike zone;
- Easy to rig: Tie your main line to the swivel at the top, a piece of leader to swivel at the bottom and your hook or jig to the terminal end of the leader. For live bait on a hook, you might also need to add a couple of large split shot to the leader to keep the bait down in the water column;
- Use either bait or a jig: Mostly commonly a jighead with a soft-plastic shrimp, crab or minnow imitation. Popular live bait choices for popping cork fishing include shrimp, menhaden, mudminnows and fiddler crabs;
- Pop a cork firmly to make big splash and long cast: Both for the sake of keeping the bait working longer with each cast and to get the rig well away from the boat. Long casts also allow you to reach more fish when you see them breaking or see other signs of feeding activity.
