Cork In Saltwater
Q: Do we use a cork for the saltwater?
A: Depends. In water 2 to 4 feet deep, a cork can sometimes be useful to help keep a bait out of grass or as a popping attraction. They also help you keep track of where your bait or lure is, and work as a strike indicator, of course. However, they do make casting more difficult. I rarely use them, but many good anglers do. Cheers, FS

I personally use popping corks when wade fishing the flats around Anna Maria Island, mostly when trout fishing. Depending on the tide and water depth it really helps to keep the bait from going straight into the grass. A rattling popping cork also attracts fish. I’ll cast, then pop it two or three times and let it sit. If I don’t get a strike I’ll rip it again.I mainly use a cork when trout fishing however I’ve caught, snook, redfish, ladyfish and of course the nasty salt catfish.
In windy condtions the cork will cause the line to twist sometimes but the cork actually helps me get a little more distance in my cast.
I’ve use corks when fishing jigs, like the tandem Love Lures or Cotee jigs.
