To Pick or Not to Pick?
Is it better to use a tooth pick to stick your corkie to the hook or let it slide up and down the line?

Re: To Pick or Not to Pick?
I use a Toothpick only if I'm using bait. I noticed the weight of the bait will cuase the Corky to slide up your line.

Re: To Pick or Not to Pick?
Oh, man!
I thought this was a scab question! :shocked:
If you are plunking, I always use a pick. Drifting, I don't.
But that's just me...

Re: To Pick or Not to Pick?
Pick your nose only when people aren't looking :grin: This includes wedgies too 
I've never used a toothpick at all. Just my .02

Re: To Pick or Not to Pick?
I either have yarn threaded through the corkie which will hold it snug enough on your line to keep it down at the hook, or I use a toothpick if I don't have yarn threaded through the corkie.
In most cases it's not needed due to the current forcing it down, but in slower currents or at the edge of a backeddy current it can make it start to slide up your line. I like the assurance of it being at the hook at all times.
And don't pick your scab, let it heal.
Mike

Re: To Pick or Not to Pick?
I pull my yarn up into the hole of the corkie with a small piece of mono. It makes a cool lookin little fly kinda thing and the yarn holds your corkie in place! :grin:

You can pick your nose and you can pick your friends, but you can't wipe your friends on the couch. :grin:

If you don't pick it, sometimes you'll get a** biters. Wait....that didn't sound good.

Re: To Pick or Not to Pick?
I just tie a small tuft of yarn above my corkie I always worried that a tooth pic would burr my line. tie'ng yarn above the corkie is a lot easier then threading it thru the corkie and since I am old fat and lazy it works for me :grin:
