My Worst Fail Yet.
video description
We not only added the weight (up to 2oz) to end of popper cork, we used electrical tape to secure it/them. After 4th July walking to spillway noticed plastic firework rocket caps on ground which I gathered. The problem with the electrical tape or just loose weights was aerodynamics. The trailer leader & lure (I used flies) would often tangle due to the flight of the cork wobble. I was right that the 1oz weight was perfect for one type of cap with enough space left to fit over end of cork. I experimented until I found a glue that didnt melt the cork or cap. I even got fluorescent paint and painted the caps & rest of cork. It flew like a missile. I had big increase in cast distance.

in north carolina on a pier and the bite is slow i tie on a clark spoon with a 1 or 2 oz trolling sinker (one of the ones with the swivel build in to it) and hang some #60 flouro off the back of it with a clark spoon and just cast/retrieve that right off the end of the pier with a second lighter rod right next to me with a gotcha. what happens is, usually when its slow its because the schools are too far to cast to, so when i get one on the clark spoon a solid couple of fish follow him in because he just all of a sudden goes mad. i sling him over the railing, and just drop my rod, dont even unhook the fish, and before the couple following him can get away i send the gotcha plug out, and suddenly i've got 2 fish on a day where no-one is getting anything.

Couldn't you simply use a jig? Small ones can weight 1-4 oz. got a 1 oz jigpara cast jig, but I never casted it. However, if I managed the TO cast a 10 gram lure a decent 20-40 yards, I'm sure a 30-60 gram jig would frickin fly.

How many foot rod was that? just a question, but why do you'll use shorter rods in usa off the shore for big game fishing rather then longer rods with a good backbone?
