How To Rig A Shrimp Under A Popping Cork Like A Pro
Ойын-сауық
You know that feeling...
When you're fishing with a popping cork...
And all of a sudden it disappears!
Then you've got about half a second before your rod doubles over and your reel starts screaming.
The thrill of seeing a strike happen before feeling it makes fishing with popping corks an exciting way to fish.
Plus, it can be a simple way to fish for children, less experienced anglers, or people who just don't want to cast a lot.
In this video, I'm going to show you the best way to rig a shrimp under a popping cork to catch more fish while saving time and money.
If you have any questions about rigging shrimp under a popping cork let me know down in the comments!

Was that a zman soft shrimp?
Looping it through a second time through once it loosens up is BRILLIANT! I learn something in salt strong videos all the time! Thank you
Great video! To help hold the cork in place you can also crimp a small splitshot at the bottom of the cork as long as it's on the leader.
I moved to using wooden corks I made from an old cedar branch. Good weight and natural . Less plastics in the water. Love the video amigo!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR EASY EXPLANATIONS HOW TO RIG THE POPPING CORK WITH LEADS ON IT.
Always great tips from you guys and love the channel. 👍🏼
Interesting approach... I like a slip cork rig for variable depth but I might try this one if I think I may want to freeline
Awesome video and info...Great Job!!!
Just starting saltwater fishing. Bought the popping corks with wire n beads. now I know this is a better method. Thanks again.
Instead of looping the line around the float, when it becomes slack. We in the UK would use a stop knot or a stop bead. Which you can still adjust dept, without having to keep removing the central stick every time. Mind you, we use a sliding float and a stop knot. So when you cast, your float is just above your weight and hook length. Once you've cast, the line slides through the float, to desired dept. It will stop at the stop knot, with the help of a small bead. Plus we have crystal clear hard plastic floats, with just painted tops. Mainly used in UK for pike fishing, but work just as well for sea fishing.

On my main line I start with bead, then unweighted cork, egg sinker, bead then swivel. To the other side of the swivel I use my leader to hook and throw some live shrimp for it. Like you, I put a uni knot above it all that I can slide up and down adjusting to my desired depth. I use that here in the Tampa Fl area. I have more success with this live shrimp set up than I do anything else. It’s very fun watching that bobber just drop.

That line is never going to dig into your cork if you stick it through the plastic tube. Again the bead above it with the uni knot will keep it at your desired depth. The egg sinker and the free floating bobber allow the whole rig to stay together and tighter when casting, then go into position when hitting the water. Hard to cast when your bobber is 3-5 feet away from your hook, just not practical
Good stuff. Thanks. I'll be trying it in the NE flats instead of my Cajun Thunder
Great tips, I've also wrapped the leader around the pin a couple times then put it back in the cork. That has worked for me very well.

Great video - do you ever wrap the line around the pin to secure ? Or just wrap it around the corK Thanks
instead of wrapping the line around the float if the mono is slipping I guess you could wrap the mono around the plastic pin half a dozen wraps and then insert the pin? We don't have popping corks in Australia but I am going to make some and try them out.
Good video. Thankyou.

Great video thanks. I here in Biloxi Ms. my best friend dad showed me a neat trick. Buy a small box of small colors rubber bands that you used for children ponytails. You break it an tight them , 1 above an one below the cork really tight. It’s help keeping the cork from sliding up an down. It’s also helps adjusting the depth you want to fish with your bait.

I usually bring 3rods with me, one with the weighted float with a float stopper, so I can adjust the depth, one with the FG knot with a leader and one with a sinker slide with a jay hook or circle hook
VersaMaxx Bolt is the answer to changing depths with the more preferred wired corks!
Nice I can try
Have you given any thoughts to using a small plastic straw, like a stirring straw, pushed down in the center of the cork and then cut a slit in the straw so the line can be pushed down inside it?
I've been watching these series of Salt Strong videos and I haven't seen in any yet, the use of Bobber Stops to keep tackle in place on your leader line. I use Bobber Stops for adjusting the level of my Bobbers or even my hook leader on my Pompano Rigs. Use one above, and one below to adjust where your Bobber or hook leader sit above your bottom weight. It is very effective in helping to maintain the proper height that your bait needs to be off the bottom structure, and up in the fish highway, away from bottom feeders that steal your bait. Just thread a Bobber Stop onto your leader line prior to tying on any tackle. I then will thread on a bead, followed by a swivel and then another bead. Follow that up with another Bobber Stop. You can then tie your hook leader to the swivel between the two beads and Bobber Stops. Then making it possible to adjust the depth of your hook leader off the bottom. Tie on a swivel at the end, then add your weight, and you have an adjustable leader rig. I use this technique in my surf fishing as well as my inshore fishing. It works very well and I still get good hook sets. Just be sure to use the proper size Bobber Stop for the size leader line you use.

how about the pole float, with bobber stop that you put on line, using these you don't have to try an cast a long leader.
Or you can tie a stopper knot to stop the float from moving.
What about using a swivel clip on the end of your fishing line?
Is it better to put a little weight on the shrimp so it goes to bottom? Maybe a weighted hook or jig?
Great corks. I’ve been using them for 9 years now. I will usually go around the top with red electrical tape as the paint wares off. Also adds strength.

what is the standard size of a popping cork? or the best size?
Which is better tail hook or head hook on live bait
Hello there, I had a problem with hooking the live shrimp on top of it head.(behind the horn) whenever I cast it, it slide off easily from my hook and lost me quite a few live shrimp I don't what is wrong?! I'm using gamakatsu octopus circle hook for it though...
You said those “standard styrofoam popping corks” are better, but could you put a link for the exact popping cork?
Hi . i wanted to ask . i am fishing in slightly deeper water sometines or channels 15 feet in any event if i wanted the cork to make some sound could i put some beeds above or below the cork and will that help at all ? or if i am in 10 feet of water will setting the ork at 8 feet and letting it float in the current then poppping it be effective

Hey man, thanks, I am new to all of this salt fishing. Trying to learn and I have both pops. I guess it goes to show, yes, the metal pops with the beads and weight is very noisy but also very user unfriendly. And my frustrations with it were true. I thought I was just using it wrong. Guess not.

What size is that bobber
I have never been able to catch anything on a popping cork but switching to a twitch bait or soft plastic without the cork and catching plenty. Also, the only thing I catch on live bait (shrimp or pinfish) is catfish. Lol. I am going to try again as soon as I get back to FL next week. Traveling for work sucks sometimes. Lol.

Hello I am confused why my popping cork bobber is going in it side
How would you hook dead shrimp on a popping cork
Really liked the video. Been using a popping cork a long time and always wondered why folks prefer the fancy ones with beads and a fixed leader. Only think I see different is that I never use braid with a cork. This kind of fishing is a great way to keep sports catching what ever is available and I think mono is fine for all my rods for sports. I have braid for myself on rods where I want to feel bite or surf fishing where I need to cast far. So for me for most rods mono is the best.

Frank Ladd this video is misleading, he’s not using a popping cork, the beads are what make it a popping cork, they hit together and make a popping sound that attracts fish. He’s ringing shrimp with a regular cork.

Thats probably the biggest disadvantage with these foam corks. They will wear out no matter what. You could also run your line straight through the pin, and then loop your line around to keep it in place.

Nice explanation...just one suggestion...a shrimp "swims" backward not forward.

Just a clarification to anyone who may be going through these comments... a shrimp darts backward with its tail when scared or trying to get away from a predator. But it often moves in a forward motion with its small legs when in its natural state (not under duress).

You realize that you’re not using a popping cork right? The beads are what make the pop that attracts fish, without that it is just a cork. Your title should be how to rig shrimp with a cork

A weighted cork with a concaved top creates a popping sound when it is moved quickly through the water, so it's considered by many to be a popping cork... the beads are added to some corks to create a clicking sound to complement the deeper sound that the concaved top makes.

The popping noise is made by twitching the rod tip causing the cork's concave top to make a popping sound in the water.
