VERSAMAXX Bolt Pro Series 3 Pack - Adjustable Leader Depth Saltwater Popping Cork Rig

They seem to be well built. I fish Galveston bay and I like that I can vary the dept without having to cut the line. I don't like the old slip corks because they "slip" and they are badly made. At $10 a cork it hurts when a big one breaks me off.

I've used these on a couple fishing trips so far, and the corks have performed well. Exactly what I was hoping for - I can easily and quickly adjust the depth of my leader. I've used these metal rod type popping corks for years, and the main drawback has always been quick depth adjustment. The other style of cork that let's you slide it up and down your line to adjust the depth are not popping corks (i.e. no metal rod with beads to click and pop to attract fish). So this is the best of both worlds - I can adjust the depth from 12 inches to 6 feet in 30 seconds!When I first opened the box one of the individual corks had been opened and pre-wrapped with a leader and line attached. At first I thought I got a used cork, but then realized the seller did this to demonstrate how to rig it. THANK YOU.

Regretfully, these will and do fail quickly. Wire snapped on one in less than a couple months, and the other two no longer prevent the line from unwrapping bcuz the plastic clip is stretched out. Liked them otherwise.

The Versa Max Bolt pro has a loud knocker bead that helps simulate the sound a shrimp makes underwater when it jumps. It is the only cork that lets you tie on a really long leader and spool it on the hook . this allows you to shorten or lengthen the leader as needed. I couple it with a H&H TKO shrimp. Speckled trout, redfish, even flounder have been caught on this rig. I tried another brand of popping cork and it worked alright but, when the bite is stubborn, the Bolt Pro gives that extra sound the fish like.

thank you...

Great for adjusting depth

Works like a charm. Great to be able to adjust depth and lure without having to change out leaders so often. Wires don’t bend as easily as other popping cork brands.

In concept this is a great idea, it’s great to be able to adjust depth quickly when you are on a bite that could end in an instant or when you are searching for fish. I’ve used the product for about six months fishing for trout and redfish on the gulf coast and I really like the versatility. Unfortunately, the first Versamaxx I used fell apart after about an hour of fishing. Quality control might be an issue, but the concept of depth adjustment is worth trying it out. I’ve bought more hoping the quality improves.
