Thread: Stocking up on tackle

Yep, the cork thing is an inside joke. Guys either love them or hate them.
I'm a fan. Easier for an old fart like me to track my bait. And see where it is when Jaws is cruising around.

What's a CORK?

I'm with you CarlF , have to have my cork to see where I am .

I sometimes use a cork to give the , ahem, less informed and less perceptive tourist fishermen something to throw at. It also makes it easier for Peaches to snake the king that's about to bite my LY.

You might want to stick some #4 treble hooks in your box just in case the live bait is running on the small side. The smaller hook lets them swim more easily.

After reading all these posts I just had to go out and get my box and inventory everything. I think we are all, no matter where you are, ready for warm breezes and a full octi!!!

I never use a cork, I always snobble or balloon fish

leave out the balloon and cork and were good lol

And do you never use a screwdriver?
Every job has a tool, and a tool for every job (just sayin ;-)

But each to his own (preferred ways that is), plenty of room if folks follow simple pier protocol and etiquette.

I only balloon fish when Im being lazy, and because I can't use another method I would prefer to use while being lazy

Not to fond of using balloons but sure love to see the vapor trail they leave when they don't pop right away.
