Billy Bay 776 Brass Weighted Popping Cork
The Billy Bay 776 Brass Weighted Popping Cork is designed to help anglers attract more strikes by creating the sound and surface disturbance of feeding baitfish. Featuring a durable brass-weighted design, this popping cork casts farther, tracks consistently, and produces the popping action that draws the attention of predatory fish in both inshore and coastal waters.
Ideal for fishing live bait, shrimp, soft plastics, or jigs beneath the float, the Billy Bay 776 is a proven choice for targeting speckled trout, red drum, flounder, Spanish mackerel, and other saltwater game fish. Whether you're fishing the marshes, sounds, or the waters surrounding the Outer Banks, this popping cork is built to help improve your presentation. Available at Frank & Fran's in Avon, NC, and ships nationwide.
