[#0000FF]Shortly after I moved back to Utah...from Arizona...I was introduced to using Corkies for fishing minnows for walleyes. I had a supply already from my years of fishing them for steelhead and salmon in California. I tried them and they worked...even if the stupid white bass and catfish often got to them before walleyes.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]So, after reactivating my flig making and finding good sources of foam I started making "Foamies"...not corkies...using the Utah colors that have proven most effective. See attached pics. I have not tried them as much as I would like but they have worked well when I used them. And, as you pointed out, they do not need to be pegged in place as with the Santee Rig. Kinda like using floating bling beads. The main ideas are to add some color attraction as well as raising the bait a bit off the bottom.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]As you can see in the last pic, I am also making these for some walleye guys that are using them as part of their crawler harness rigs. Have also made some in hot pink for koke rigs.
