Bill's Popping cork Rig
pic 2 you run one end through the cork and
through the loop. at the other end you attach your hook.
pic 3
you attach a small split shot. securing one side of the first loop to the
main line. this makes it completely adjustable as far as length.
pic 4
is in a medium length position.
pic 5
it is in its shortest position.
the resistance from the split shot makes it so
that even a big trout will not draw it out but a big snook will.
even if it does, it goes through the loop so it is secure. i
have been using it on oyster bars. i can adjust it to its
shortest length, 9 inches, and a bait stays just off the bed so
that it does not get caught on the oysters. if i see a fish just
off the bed in deeper water i can pull it out to maximum length
to get the fishes attention. then i can go back to short in a
second. if i am not sure of the water depth, i adjust it until
the float is no longer on its side. i now know it is just up off
the bottom. also works great on the grass flats. i can adjust it
to keep it just above the grass and don't have to worry about
the bait burrowing down in the grass. i personally think it
works like a charm and out at ainger creek the reds and snook
did to. see you at the meeting
