OK we are using popping cork with DOA Do I put Mono Braided? I have a Mitchel 300Pro on a &ft Med rod .fishing icw around piers. Southport area.
Trigger cost me $40.00You jokers just cost me about $12 with this thread. Heading to Southport in the morning and just got back from BPS (the only local retailer with a decent salt water selection). Bought the popping cork trigger recommended and DOA shrimp. Will give it a try along with my usual techniques.

Question about the setup you've mentioned Trigger. In no way questioning the setup at all, just trying to understand. What benefit is there to spooling braid and have a fluoro leader? My reels are spooled with 10lb fluoro tied to the popping cork, then my leader is 12lb fluoro.10-20 pound braid for your reel (I use 10) and 15 pound mono or fluoro leader material.
Great! There goes another $40.00Casting distance is much greater with braid than it is with mono or fluoro and in skinny water with spooky trout and reds that extra distance can mean the difference in catching one or two fish or catching 20.
Another thing about fluoro is that it sinks. So when fishing a Topwater lure it is a lot harder to do with fluoro than braid or mono.

I know quite well, I spent several hundred last week and shall continue to spend moreYou guys got out cheap for $40...Should have came and seen me, I would have helped you add another 100 to that, or more...
I dropped $200.00, but haven't seen the same number of fishI spent $200 to get myself a surf Spanish setup based upon a thread I started myself- and it's caught exactly the same number of fish so far .....
I presently do not have any reels spooled with braid, but I forsee it happening prior to next Saturday as I am Ocean Isle bound for a weekand braid lasts for years not months. I too do braid and mono or flouro leaders.
