Cork balls are still the first choice for anglers that want to make the best possible pop-up hook baits and are also superb for critically balancing particle baits so that they are slower sinking (effectively counterbalancing the weight of the hook).

They are superb when trimmed and shaped to make fake mixers or very small zig hook baits. Cork can be soaked with your favourite flavours or dowsed with oil for added attraction.

Gardner Tackle cork balls are available in packs of 10 and larger bulk packs of 25; in sizes from 8mm to 16mm (range includes mixed size packs).
