@@lukhjUm, you must not spend much time in saltwater if you've never seen a shrimp escaping a predator by popping out of the water. Happens all the time, Chief.
Theres a commercial deep sea fishing boat that I go out on, your bait gets hit soon as you hit the bottom. 25 years on the boat and it's always the same.
I feel ya. I watched a vid the other day of a dude showing his flounder jig and a live finger mullet. I couldn’t tell if it was edited but I swear he cast his line and 2 seconds later fish on. Yet, I wait and wait and wait with the same fukin’ set up and bait for hours. Make it make sense.
I’ve caught northern pike popping a crappie bobber like that. And Logan’s behold I had them in my tackle box so I didn’t have to buy anything. I also have bass poppers from the 60s & 70s.
I do have a question not for me but for people who don't know. how much line do you need to tie on the bottom of the popping cork to the lure do need 2 ft or 3 ft or 4 ft how much is enough?
