Corkies. How good are they?
 

I've never used them, but hear good things about them. Are they any more effective than a Top Dog? If I try a couple, what colors are best and where can I get them around Lafayette? Thanks.

Never had any luck with them. I stick to Top Dogs and mirrodines

They are as good as the fisherman using them!!

People bait whore so much but its all how you fish



Baits catch more people than fish and that is a fact jack

Truth. Also gotta fish where the fish are. The best bait in the world won't catch crap if they're not there.

VUDU
Corkies


Live Bait















the rest

they're the bees knees. color depends on the conditions they all have a time and place

What Vudu, the shrimp from Academy? Nevermind, I was thinking of the Mojo shrimp. ?

I was joking on that post, but Academy does have a shrimp lure similar to the Vudu shrimp, don't think they carry the actual brand Vudu shrimp

I am pretty sure that Pack n Paddle has corkies if you want to stop in there, they also have Vudu shrimp as well:)

Yeah I've got a couple of the Academy ones. They're called the Mojo shrimp. Haven't used them much, but they do have good movement on the tail. Thanks for the Corky location.

Academy has the famous vudu shrimp

Academy has the Corkys and soft dine lures.
Pack and Paddle has the crazy croaker and the maniac mullet lures


All of these lures are about the same, just different sizes. They work well, i like them because of the design. The soft boy can really be worked erratically and just when you think, "Man i am never gonna catch a thing on these lures" there is a THUMP! fish on.

They cast like a rattle trap, you can work them shallow, suspended or deep. Very versatile.

My best trip fishing them was last year, I was fishing a current break and had 4 fish in the boat. I made a cast, backlashed as the lure sank for 10+ seconds and BAM! 3 lb trout. I ended up with almost a limit. Casting out and letting the lure sink without a twitch. The fish would hit it so hard they it was like they were trying to take the pole out my hand.

Some people like them, some don't. I cant seem to get a trout on a topwater lure so i favor these.

Corky devils are a good choice, maniac mullet as well.

:smokin:

Nice pics W!

Helluva pics man


"Go ahead, share your opinion! I won't cry"

That's some pretty water W. Where y'at?

Tried the new soft dine last weekend, lure looked great out of the water, we were commenting on it, tried it out and first cast caught a derelict crab trap...there went that 10$....not giving up on it though shoulda bought two..

Big Lake

That sucks. I mighta had to take a swim to retrieve a $10 bait.

I agree, looks great in the package. Does it look and work like a mirrodine?
I don't guess that you got to see it work very long if it hung on a crab trap.

Looks great in the water and package, I think it would have worked well if I wouldn't have lost it in the trap...I was in shallow water but I don't like going into some nasty old crap trap when I cant see whats in it...

How do y'all work that bait?

Vudu shrimp with a rockport ratler is absolutely deadly.

LMAO...on a pocket fisherman

Holla at ya boy! My favorite is the broke back in natural color!

If we really want to get in trouble for hijacking, let's question why we have never had a derelict crab trap removal project for Calcasieu.

I like corkies for wading and I find maniac mullets to be a little easier to work out of the boat.

I "removed" one a couple years ago with my buddy's outboard. Have you ever seen one wrapped around a prop? Ho-lee-****! Damn crabbers.

I would have pulled that one up if I had a gaff but I wasn't sticking my hand a few feet down to possibly come up missing fingers...

Highjacked again. Vermillion cca is doing another one soon in vbay

Academy in Kenner has Vudu. I just saw them an hour ago. My girlfriend bought me some of the H2o shrimp and they are almost identical to the Vudu. Compare them side by side next time you go.

They are the same bait that comes from over seas, nobody has a patten on them so free game!!

H2o are cheaper

Thay work good put 64 trout in the box last week on a corkies in v bay

Well there ya go fellas.

Corkie , like any other lure is only as good as the fisherman that is throwing it.
