Slip cork for 1/64 jig

[fe1]

Is there a slip cork that will work when using a 1/64 -1/32 oz jig and 4/6 lb line without adding shot weight?

Without adding weight about the best you can hope for is a slow decent with a 1/32 oz. jig. Less weight than that and you won't achieve your target depth in a long while. Why not just add a split shot or two? BB size should do the trick. The fish won't mind a bit either.

Adding weight is what I've been doing.Just searching for alternatives.

1/32 oz is the lightest jig Ive gotten to work with a slip float, and it takes long time to set the float depending on how deep it is.

You might try the Thill pro series with the brass grommet....that may allow the small jig to slip through easier. Also a little reel magic on the line will slick it up. That is tough though as you well know. The weighted balsa pole float may have a shot at working too. At the least you could use the tiniest of split shot just up the line to get it work.

A final thought. What line are you using with that bobber? I've found that a fused braided line (i.e.: Fireline Crystal) goes through slip bobbers much easier than mono or fluorocarbon. JMO.

A waggler is the best slip float for any size jig. It's just a superior design.

try a micro shot from the fly tying stores its smallest shot youll find anywhere. rich mc

I'll have to try it.

I use Comal cigar floats (available at my local Walmart) and cut them down to match different sized jigs.
And as Crestliner said the fused type line like Fireline Crystal or Nanofil works MUCH better with my little jigs, which go down to 1/100th ounce.
