    Default slip cork


    Hi everybody!
    Got a question about slip cork rigging I thought I would throw out here...

    Sometimes it takes me a while to figure out better way to do stuff and I'm sure some of you seasoned professional fishermen
    can help me out.

    The issue is line, reels, and slip corks. Figured out a long time ago that braid dont work reel well on closed faced reels, but it is great on open faced spinning reels. Now I fish a cork and jig alot around here and always use the best cork I have ever found ESB, everlasting slip bobber.
    Braid is expensive compared to mono, and will last all year long, but mine seems to twist to the point of being useless after 2 days hard fishing.
    I've watched my jig swim back to the boat but it dont seem to be spinning, maybe on the cast, I dont know.

    Whatever is happening it happens alot to me. How to rig it? How do I stop twisting line? And no I dont wont to throw it over a tree limb or hang it out the back of the boat for while.
    Ya can't no more do what ya don't know than ya can come back from where ya ain't been!

    Close bail by hand and take up slack with pole before cranking it will help. May still be bait rolling

    Seems that braid coming though the eye of the slip cork insert would cause more twisting than mono. How about braid backing and then a section of mono at the end? A uni-to-uni knot would work.

    Hey GS,

    I use a small Styrofoam float with the plastic stick in da middle with 6 or 8 pound strength gold mono. I do drill the hole larger. Now I re tie after half a day of hard feeshing. I do keep a extra pole rigged. Mr Salters use to glue a bead in the top of the float and trim the Styrofoam as needed.

    I usually go with 8 or 10 lb braid.

    Now on the shiner pole I use a bigger cork and maybe 15 lb braid cause it just handles better and no twisting issues.

    Dont seem to twist as much with mono.

    I dont think the mono at the end will work to good cause I retie alot and stuff. I mean if you use 6" everytime you retie a jig then you would have rig it all back up pretty quick.

    I was gonna suggest a larger braid cuz it seems to handle way better than the smaller diameter..
