I prefer cork also, I think it has a lot to do with trout being a slimy fish and the cork gives a better grip than foam after the slim builds up during a trip. But saying cork is more sensitive I have to disagree, # 1 foam(evc) is lighter and will be as if not more sensitive. Most of your high end bass guys use it to make a living nuff said.
