When I've used a popping cork while wading or drifting I almost always have used live shrimp, but have also used dead shrimp. Thinking about trying something like Gulp shrimp, DOA shrimp, or artificial shrimp tails with a piece of Fishbites. I was thinking of trying one of the DOA Deadly Combo varieties. My question is how good do artificials work under a rattle/popping cork rig as opposed to real live or dead shrimp? Any success stories or advice any of you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Sorry, meant to post this in the Open Saltwater Discussion section.

Will repost there.
