Looping it through a second time through once it loosens up is BRILLIANT! I learn something in salt strong videos all the time! Thank you

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.

I moved to using wooden corks I made from an old cedar branch. Good weight and natural . Less plastics in the water. Love the video amigo!

Great video! To help hold the cork in place you can also crimp a small splitshot at the bottom of the cork as long as it's on the leader.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR EASY EXPLANATIONS HOW TO RIG THE POPPING CORK WITH LEADS ON IT.

Always great tips from you guys and love the channel. 👍🏼

Just starting saltwater fishing. Bought the popping corks with wire n beads. now I know this is a better method. Thanks again.

Great tips, I've also wrapped the leader around the pin a couple times then put it back in the cork. That has worked for me very well.

Awesome video and info...Great Job!!!

Interesting approach... I like a slip cork rig for variable depth but I might try this one if I think I may want to freeline

This is an excellent video with all the right information that’s important! Thank you!

Great shrimp rigging tips Tony!

This vid is filled with so much excellent info - thanks!

Very helpful... Thanks for shared

Great video thanks. I here in Biloxi Ms. my best friend dad showed me a neat trick. Buy a small box of small colors rubber bands that you used for children ponytails. You break it an tight them , 1 above an one below the cork really tight. It’s help keeping the cork from sliding up an down. It’s also helps adjusting the depth you want to fish with your bait.

Brilliant! Awesome video!

Well done, Excellent teacher. Thanks

Good stuff. Thanks. I'll be trying it in the NE flats instead of my Cajun Thunder

i have tons of success actually rigging through the top of the back and hard shell piece.

Nice informative vid! Thanks!

Very helpful new to South Carolina fishing

Good video...Thank you!~ I would have loved to see the action of the cork after you described what it could do....maybe a short video of you casting each one out after description~...

Great instructional video.👍

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.

All great tips there i use a weighted cork as well. You did a great job at complaining everything 👍

great examples with that rubber Mohawk shrimp ! thanks Zeke ..coastal NC Strong

Great insight thanks man

Thanks so much for the info.

Thnx man ,preciate what u doin

Great video. 🐟

Great video - do you ever wrap the line around the pin to secure ? Or just wrap it around the corK Thanks

Good video. Thankyou.

VersaMaxx Bolt is the answer to changing depths with the more preferred wired corks!

Nice video. Quick question, do you use any sinkers for this setup?

Thanks for sharing

brilliant thank you bro

Great corks. I’ve been using them for 9 years now. I will usually go around the top with red electrical tape as the paint wares off. Also adds strength.

instead of wrapping the line around the float if the mono is slipping I guess you could wrap the mono around the plastic pin half a dozen wraps and then insert the pin? We don't have popping corks in Australia but I am going to make some and try them out.

Great video for rookies

T, The large egg shaped clip on corks work great for that application. Can fish 6' deep or so.

Nice I can try

I usually bring 3rods with me, one with the weighted float with a float stopper, so I can adjust the depth, one with the FG knot with a leader and one with a sinker slide with a jay hook or circle hook

Have you given any thoughts to using a small plastic straw, like a stirring straw, pushed down in the center of the cork and then cut a slit in the straw so the line can be pushed down inside it?

Hi . i wanted to ask . i am fishing in slightly deeper water sometines or channels 15 feet in any event if i wanted the cork to make some sound could i put some beeds above or below the cork and will that help at all ? or if i am in 10 feet of water will setting the ork at 8 feet and letting it float in the current then poppping it be effective

Hey man, thanks, I am new to all of this salt fishing. Trying to learn and I have both pops. I guess it goes to show, yes, the metal pops with the beads and weight is very noisy but also very user unfriendly. And my frustrations with it were true. I thought I was just using it wrong. Guess not.

Or you can tie a stopper knot to stop the float from moving.

I have never been able to catch anything on a popping cork but switching to a twitch bait or soft plastic without the cork and catching plenty. Also, the only thing I catch on live bait (shrimp or pinfish) is catfish. Lol. I am going to try again as soon as I get back to FL next week. Traveling for work sucks sometimes. Lol.

Is it better to put a little weight on the shrimp so it goes to bottom? Maybe a weighted hook or jig?

how about the pole float, with bobber stop that you put on line, using these you don't have to try an cast a long leader.

Hello there, I had a problem with hooking the live shrimp on top of it head.(behind the horn) whenever I cast it, it slide off easily from my hook and lost me quite a few live shrimp I don't what is wrong?! I'm using gamakatsu octopus circle hook for it though...

what is the standard size of a popping cork? or the best size?

Which is better tail hook or head hook on live bait

You said those “standard styrofoam popping corks” are better, but could you put a link for the exact popping cork?

What about using a swivel clip on the end of your fishing line?

I like

Hey dude nice video. I do appreciate the information you provide. But i have a big problem. I used to fish at a pond full of tarpons about 60 to 75 pounds in size. Every day i see them play and jump but tbey don't bite. I tried every thing allready. Like life shrimps, softbait,lifebait, worms.ect. I'm getting a bit frustrated. Please help out.

Great stuff 👍🎣

What size is that bobber

I prefer my popping cork with extra butter and salt.

What circle hook is that please

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.

Have update video?

what soft plastic shrimp did u use?

This is counter to the reason we use popping corks. If you include use the float, there is no popping on only splashing.

How would you hook dead shrimp on a popping cork

Hello I am confused why my popping cork bobber is going in it side

Can u sent ke poping cort

Where can I get those realistic soft plastic shrimp you’re using?

Versa Max popping corks Tony....come on dude...

Ok

For kids, is it better to us a circle hook?

Will that fake shrimp work also thx for your help great vid

What brand shrimp is this?

I love all the info from this series , but why does every single video sound like a new job orientation video series?

Tip 4 u, use a dark background 4 future videos

What was that artificial shrimp? Zman??

Hook size?

What is that shrimp

everytime i use those with 20lb fluro it ends up cutting the bobber and then it freely moves up and down the line

white shirt in this video was an epic fail

Nice explanation...just one suggestion...a shrimp "swims" backward not forward.

You mean a Float.

First ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻

Contrast We need contrast! We can barely see the line because your white shirt is not giving contrast at all. That's basic for videos, mate

Believe in Jesus Christ to give you eternal life be blessed and thanks for the video

You realize that you’re not using a popping cork right? The beads are what make the pop that attracts fish, without that it is just a cork. Your title should be how to rig shrimp with a cork

Just take your cork off if you want to cast and retrieve your live shrimp 🤔

Popping cork??? What's making the popping noise if it's on the main line ?? That's just a cork set up the popping is sound is what draws the fish in
