I've got about 2 dozen corkys to repair, is it a 50%MEK and 50% PVC mix??

TIB,

With out the cork how does the bait look? Does it roll on you when not moving or is it a weighted jig head set up to keep it straight?

I would like to see a buck tail on the thing personally to give it a little of that little border wiggle when it is since it is not corky neutral.

Besides I tried a cc at the pool to try to get a little more movement and it did give it the impression of the wiggle but I have not been on the water to try it.

HERE IS THE THREAD ON HOW TO CLEAN, REPAIR CORKIES. INC GETTING THE STAINS THAT YOU GET IN THE OLD ONES.

There several references in the Archives on exactly how to repair these.

Its a 1/16 oz weighted worm hook that I epoxied a glass rattle to. I have not messed with it but I may tomorrow. I will say I caught a bunch of fish before it got tore up. Switched out to a mirrodine and still caught fish but they didnt hold on to the lure like the softdine.
