I use this rig for deepwater crappie (sometimes fish 25 ft down) and these are the best and most simple. The knot in the line is small and will reel up really easily versus the little rubber one. They work with the bigger corks as well. We used them at the sulfur mine in Golden Meadow long ago to get pogies down 20 feet in winter when the trout were right off the bottom, works like a charm. I kinda like the pink ones
