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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
