question on popping corks

Post by salvadorsanchez »

Guys do yall use a j hook or circle hook if fishing near the grass brackish water w/popping cork? For the bait, what is the rule of thumb if any? Gulp Shrimp, grub tipped with shrimp?

Thanks,
Jay

I only use a popping cork or D.O.A. Deadly Combo or Cajun Thunder style when I'm fishing for speckled trout. Yes, I use a circle hook and if I'm not using live shrimp. I'll try a Gulp shrimp or a D.O.A. shrimp. [/i]

You can use either J or circle hooks. You just have to change your style on setting hook. I use J hooks for shrimps just the fact they sometimes strike during the pop.

If you plan to use circle just wind the line tight so the fish hooks itself. I recent saw a ad from Gamakatsu advertising a new circle in a J style.

This thread's a couple years old now, but I'm just getting started with popping corks. Can someone tell me what "DOA Shrimp" is? Is it a gulp-type product?
