other buddy says double rig on a regular cork works better.
I like doing this, but last week, I was getting the baits fouled on the cork so often it became a PITA. I must be doing something wrng.

I use them fishing the Jetty down at Surfside beach. They work well.

Double rigs on any cork get messed mainly because the baits tumble over cork multiple times when they're cast. This because there's weight on the cork, at the end of the line and somewhere between the cork and end bait. The way to correct this is to cast sidearm as to lessen the tendency for the baits to flip over the cork. Better yet, use an unweighted cork when you're fishing tandem rigs...

From what I've learned with my first full year inshore fishing, a damn bare hook will catch them if you're on them and they're feeding. On the trip I asked this question about, we got tripled up each throwing something different.

I will say that since I made this thread I've been sold on the h&h poppin corks with flexible thin cable instead of the wire. The wire ones tend to get bent all to hell in a bag/tackle box and then they don't make a whole lot of noise in the water.
