Thread: Pulling Jigs with a cork?

1 mph, 1/2oz total weight, good run of thumb is the bait will run half of how much line you have out. Wanting to fish 3 foot deep you need 6 foot of line behind the cork. It works pretty good for me, run cranks the same way in the spring. Run both of the sides just like I fish in the summer.

Awesome information man thanks!

cranks under a cork for shallow water.....good idea.....the corks are fixed on the line I assume.....and I assume these are not poopin corks(LOL)...

Actually a non-weighted popping cork turned around backwards works very well.

Will do they are great for long lining

Just about always have one dragging beside the boat while I'm single poling these creeks. Definitely a good tactic when fishing a row of stumps along a bank. I'll have one out each side typically.

Love that technique . been doing that for years..works really well in the bayous here in South Louisiana too.. also great for redfish and speckled trout in the lakes around here..

Here's something some buddies of mine that tourney fish the MCC are doing to long line jigs.



I'm told that Offshore is making a float kit for their mini boards so you can free spoil them into place. I used this method. Just attach an egg shaped float to the top of the mini boards. Red is right and green is left. I got my floats at Lakeway in Nader, cut out a wedge in the float and super glued them on the board. Take extra glue just in case one comes off.

Bill, theses are pretty nice planners and easier to use without modifying the off shore.
