Questions about longlining

[Abu65]

I saw some folks last year longlining with corks or bobbers what ever you may call them & I was curious has to what therer setup is? Are they pulling jigs or minnows or a combonation of the 2? What type of rigs Capps & Coleman & what type of cork does every one recomend?
Thanks, Abu65

They could have been using jigs or minnows or a combination of both....

Alot of people troll with corks to keep the baits at a certain depth that the fish may be holding at....

Capps and Coleman rig is basically a 2 hook setup with 1 hook under the weight and another hook on a dropper loop above the weight...can be used with jigs or minnows also....can be trolled at various speeds with enough weight to keep the baits in the strike zone....these rigs are usually trolled without a cork...
