Reply To: How do you tie a popping cork?

[ShooterMcGrabbin]

From top to bottom

4 horse cork

Palomar knot

12-15″ of 20lb mono

Split shot weight

12-15″ of 20 lb mono

Palomar

Vudu / Marker 54 shrimp

The weight in the middle of the line is a carryover from my days using live bait as it helps keep the shrimp in the intended strike zone but why I use it now is because when casting it acts like a trebuchet and allows me to cast further and more accurate and also avoids the tangles I used to get when throwing a setup without a weight.

Try it out on your next outing, you’ll never go back.
