    Default Searching for the "perfect" cork


    Hey guys,
    I can't seem to find a slip cork that I really like. I have attached an image of a cork that has the style I like but it is not a slip cork. It has a spring on the bottom, of the cork, that your line attaches to. I want a cork that has a long stick above the cork body that I can paint pink so I can see the dang thing. Does anyone know where I can find a cork like this?

    Thanks for your help.

    Tight lines....

    Charlie

    The only thing I can think of is are the long hard foam corks but you would still have to put in a longer peg.

    A slip float to try is one made by gapens. http://www.gapen.com/category_s/53.htm
    this is the most sensitive slip bobber i ever used by far. and it works like a dream, can be set to slip, or one quick snap and its set.
    NOT a bobber for a windy day, but when you have a light bite, or long poling the brush, its the best i've ever seen

    Charlie, you can do like I do when I was to looking and couldn't find any either. Pull the spring off, then straighten out a paper clip. In the middle of the paper clip, bend a circle around a finishing nail making a full circle so that both stems of the clip end up parallel, I helps to put nail in vise for the bending. Using thread wrap the formed wire to the bottom of the cork stem such as you would wrap the leg of a replaced guide on fishing pole. then when ends are secure, paint then with clear nail polish, or varnish. If you make the hole in the wire right, a regular bobber stop will work. Hope this helps, and good luck. Eric.

    Bass pro shops oval balsa is my favorite slip bobber, casts a mile, easy to see, rides rough water well, and crappies seem to have no problem taking it down. Best of all, they are cheap!

    I have tried them all. I totally agree with Kevin22. The main thing I like is the top eyelet is small enough to not use a bead that I hate. I by them by the bag.

    Try this float right here. It can be used as a clip on or slip float. It has a tube to drop in a light stick or you could paint the tube. http://www.rod-n-bobbs.com/index.php...odView&pid=323
