Rigging corkies behind the hook

[osprey02]

I've thought of that and have some, but like I said, I've never had a problem with light line egg loops holding my bait. I use 10-14 wraps on the shank of the hook before I throw the line back thru the Eye for the bottom 6 wraps, this gives the bait more room against the shank, not to get crushed, even on size 4 octys. I use maxima ultra or a few different fluorocarbons on my rigs. I never pull the egg loop tight ~ I just softly snug it up as to not crush through the bait and I try to never get human scent on the line or bait, so I often wear latex gloves when handling the bait. I always use latex when I'm curing and preparing my roe.

*I have a bunch of sizes of those little rubber bands that I use when building my sage fly rods.
