I still use them (corks) some are high tech now like rocket corks, trill, and many more . The ones I used back 50 something years ago were the corks that came out of Levi Garrett snuff bottles, snuff that my Grandma dipped. I wonder if anyone else here used them or old bottle corks when they were boys (or girls). Those 2"-3" perch and bream looked like giants to me back then.
