Jig vs Popping cork

["W"]

Fishing plastic with out a cork allows you to fish every level of water deep,shallow and mid

Jig weight makes a great difference in catching and fishing.

Days you have to make trout eat!

If you can work a plastic you will never need a cork


I have never been out fished in my boat by a popping cork "Never"

That was cork vs cork and once I started throwing my jig again I smoked his shoes off

He did beat me throwing cork vs cork but I won total # of fish

The elitists are out today. They seem to be biting on baits suspended from corks, but I think closer consideration reveals that the corks are being trolled and the trolls are being fed.

Cork is great for fishing the birds. I have been burned by guys throwing corks and me throwing a jig under the birds. Keeps bait right where they want it at all times. And for women/children so they can't get hung on the bottom. All I throw is spooks and corky's though.

I think they both have their pros and cons when used correctly. I have never had much luck with a cork, I've always done better tight line and I like that more. I'm sure it's because my cork technique isn't quite rite. I'd like to learn how to use cork better as I think it would make me a more well rounded fisherman.

I got bored with a cork when I was 8, and my 8 year old is bored with corks.

Sorry my differing opinion upsets you.

And nobody implied that it was beneath them, you are interpreting that to be the case either because of a chip on your shoulder or you just like confrontation.

I have corks in my boat, and have used them to locate like mentioned above. The rare occasion I do use them to locate, I switch to the more exciting method TO ME.

The OP asked for opinions from everyone. He didn't state that he wanted opinions that supported his or your thought process either way.

it was you who chose to comment on my opinion and to suggest by that comment someone using a cork is "Not learning to select and fish a lure"

so yea, you tell any fisherman he cant select and fish a lure and he will get defensive over it. that was the point of your post.

feeding time is over

I'm not prejudice. And I'm not afraid to throw a cork. Especially if I'm fishing with someone else. Depending on who I'm fishing with either I or one of my partners will at least try a cork. I figure it can't hurt. And it's better for people who are less skilled with a rod and reel.

I only use a poppin cork with mirrodines or corkys.

Water depth. Each has it's place.
No cork in 40 foot water. No gigging in 5 foot of water.

What's the deal.

Jigging..........and what about poppers?

[Visco]

I agree water depth is the key. However the last two days of fishing my son-n-law used jig and I used a cork. He did better than me on the first day and I seemed to do better on the second day. Both of us fishing the same piece of water.
