The key to retrieving a popping cork correctly is creating the ultimate “POP” each time.

Firstly, you need to make sure you have enough slack in your line to make a quality pop.

If there’s too much tension in the line, the cork will just slide in the water and not create the sharp pop you want.

Kayak Retrieve

The first technique is if you were sitting down in a kayak or fishing where you can’t get the rod tip all the way down.

Simply leave some slack in the line and all you have to do is perform a quick and sharp pop with the tip of the rod.

You want to create a quick sharp pop to mimic the sound of fish crashing on bait.

The number of pops in between reels is up to you and up to what the fish are interested in on that given day.

For fishing in heavy current, give the cork a quick pop and let it drift in the current.

Boat Or Land Retrieve

Cast the cork out and let some slack out in your line.

Instead of popping your rod up, like with the kayak retrieve, you pop the rod down with this retrieve.

You can even tilt your rod at an angle for each pop as well.

Conclusion

biggest popping cork mistakes

Popping corks are an excellent way to spark a quick bite in a hurry!

They attempt to mimic the sound of a feeding frenzy igniting a blitz around them.

But you’ve got to make sure you’re creating the right “POP” or else it could look unnatural!

Yea while I have caught a few fish with popping corks very few is the key word I used to use a gulp shrimp on my cork rig but could never really do much on them and like the saying goes if your confidence is lacking then your catching probably will as well thanks for the info and all you do👍😉

Awesome presentation regarding “popping corks”. Redfish was Good ‘ Lagniappe ‘ as we say in Louisiana.

Holy cow! I’ve been doing it wrong for three years! I was out on the boat yesterday and tried popping it down instead of up and it worked great. Two quick downward taps and the cork stayed in almost the same place. Thank you for the video.
