Up against hook or right above leader portion. I assume above the leader. And should the cork be weighted or non-weighted.

Above the leader if It's an egg sinker. You can tie a shortish leader if need be. I miss fishing sliding corks in black bay in the summer.

*They are also good to use for fishing triple tail as well. If they are holding low on a buoy chain or crab pot then you can adjust the depth easily.

What do you think about weighted vs non weighted cork. I can't see it making a difference.

Always used non-weighted cork. The weight to throw the rig is the egg sinker. If you are using small crimp on weights then that might be a different story. We always used 1/4-1/2 oz egg sinkers IIRC. Maybe could step up the weight depending on depth of water and structure on bottom

It depends on who you ask. I use those versa max corks and the line on them is 30# braid that ends with an egg sinker and two plastic balls (for extra noise) connected to a 45# swivel.

Below that I can obviously put anything, but right now it's 15# fluro with a 4/0 circle. That leader length is about 16 inches.

Sometimes I do the captain charlie style where I let that work like a Carolina rig under a cork. Others I let it sit about a foot above the bottom and let the shrimp/minnow do the work.

I do this exact same setup for my Carolina rigs now too.
