Corkie jig

[Knot Fishing Sober]

I had some feathers and some corkies so decided to mess around. I drilled a hole in the corkies and ran feathers through. Then I plugged the holes with the plastic piece that bobber stops come tied to. The plastic tubes make them easy to thread line through. Just trying to use materials I have already. Any chance I could catch one on these? I know there is a huge anti corkie and yarn drift fishing bias, but keep in mind I'm just trying to catch my first chrome on what is at times a very limited budget. Getting hard to convince the wife the $50 trips to fisherman's are paying off. I'm also a craftsman who loves to tinker and I'm always looking for a way to stand out from the sheeple. Thanks for any criticisms or encouraging feedback.

That might work!! However a simple corky and yarn catch lots of fish all the time!!

I always knew you were a Cork/Yarn dredger...

In all seriousness, the Corkie/Yarn isn't just for snagging. It can produce fish, legally.

Those riggin's you got there would probably work if plopped in front of a Steelhead. People give these fish too much credit..

I kid you not, I've seen a Steelhead go after a Cigarette Butt, Sunflower seed shells & indicators or small bobbers.

Hey K F S! I like it. Coming from the dark side, that set-up you have gives one the ability to change hook sizes,like tube flies. They ad some dimention between a corkie/egg and a wounded pink worm. Nice way to think outside the box. Thanks for the idea. Tony
