What size line from cork to lure

[@allentrevino3916]

So I've watched Matt's popping cork tutorial and his rod choice is completely different. I want to say he went with a 7ft medium power fast action. I'm personally using a 7ft 6in medium heavy moderate fast action for my popping cork setup like you're showing. My question is, is the difference in rods a preference or style difference in setting the hook? I will say I haven't had a tangled cork since I went to a longer moderate fast action rod but I don't know if that action is costing me hooksets.

[@stevekissee1545]

Actually the most important element of a tangle free cast with a cork is both a smooth back and forward action of the cast. 45 degree angle of the rod is best but I’ve seen people perfect even an overhead cast. Also, depths beyond 30” are not an issue when proper casting techniques are employed. Change your depths people, it’s a very important part of cork fishing.

Too many redundant words. Not enough demo. It could have been a 2-minute video.

[@zbutler111]

Video tip: your video is way overexposed and that makes it impossible to see the cork during your casts.

[@Saltstrong]

We are sorry you didn't care for this video. Our goal is to reach anglers of all skill levels. We hope you enjoy the next one!

[@zbutler111]

@@Saltstrong I didn't say I didn't like the video. I was trying to offer some help to make it better. I would have loved to be able to see what he was describing.

[@jaredz2790]

Agreed.
