Is there a perfect Popping Cork Rod, Yes the Cajun Popit!

Having used a popping cork all day on the flats with Gulps, pin-fish, pogy, and many types of jigs from the Everglades to the panhandle of Florida I can attest to the good and the bad of having the right Popping Cork rod.


If you have to rod that is to moderate or slow action rod the cork is a effort to work and it takes more that just a flick of the wrist. It also makes the setting the hook to slow and you miss a lot of fish. To fast and the hook gets pulled free on the fish when you set. The tip action and length are the key to having a great popping cork set up. Depending on the set up the leader can be 6 foot in length and the casting with accuracy can be a challenge, particularly in the wind.
Well we went to Florida and spent some time on the water and commissioned Cajun Custom Rods to design and make the perfect Popping cork rod and  the Cajun Popit is the best by design specifically for cork fishing inshore. Others claim it we prove it.


The rod is 7"6" in length ,medium action with a fast tip and you can cast accurately and also launch it to cover the splotch bottom where the trout and reds hang out, or get it right on the grass line in 2 foot and work it to call the fish to the bait. All it takes is the flip of the wrist to get the sound you want when the cork pops!


Sometimes during the year the trout and reds will not hit anything but a popping cork with live bait, jig, or flukes, and the windy days it maybe your only choice. We like the Cajun Thunder and Back Bay by Cajun Popping corks and hope to soon offer a Cajun Popping Cork with the rod, we are in the process now of working that out, but based on initial reaction to this rod thought we would get it out there for sale.


The Perfect Popping cork rod is like the perfect umbrella rig rod, and throwing it all day can be hard on the arm. You should take a close look at this rod and if you fish popping corks a lot this is the one.
