Where will you be fishing? What type of landscape/structure?


Delacroix or Breton Sound.

Have you tried using a cork with the shrimp or with plastics?


I often use a cork with the Carolina rig. Although I'm sure it is called something else once a cork goes on it.

How about a gold spoon for reds?


Sparingly. No weight is needed when using the golden spoons, correct? Just cast into cover and slow real out?

No weight needed. Some people will put a swivel on the spoon so it doesn't twist line. I either reel mine in steady or twitch it.

Yeah that doesn't make sense. A carolina rig is fished on the bottom. Sounds like you're just fishing it under a cork. Doesn't really have a "name" per se.

When I fish a c-rig, I usually have 12-18" or sometimes more from the bait to the swivel and weight. Under a cork, it's usually a lighter weight (split shot often times), with no swivel and the weight is much nearer the bait if I use any weight at all.
