Default What is your favorite popping cork?

Looking in my bags this weekend i noticed i'm down to just two popping corks left (probably all i need for the next year or two but...) I've been using the Mid Coast ones and liked em but since i'm about to make an order any favorites out there?

I like the ones that have a skull top as a beed. I can't remember the brand name. But I like the sound

10076501.jpgI'm ol' fashion...the smallest h@h makes in a un-weighted version. Use with 1/8 to no larger than 1/4oz. In clear water I sometimes paint the cork black.

Bingo. $1.29 for a two pack. Easy on easy off. I don't like the kind you have to tie directly to.

Buy titanium instead of steel. Steel is good for about a couple hours. Let one big red crush your cork and it's over if it's not titanium. Most brands sell both. Titanium is more expensive but worth it.

Boat monkey. Has a stainless steel washer that protects the cork from the bottom bead. I use braid so my pops are extra..... Poppy.

Country Station has YMB bang time corks. Very good quality that is all we use.

I really like the Cajun Thunder but I like these old fashioned ones to use as a slip cork when fishing deeper water esp. off jetties so not to get hung up on the submerged rocks. Just run the line through the hole in the stick with a bead and adjust the thread on your line for depth.
