Have never really thought about putting wire leaders under the corks.....is that mainly for abrasion issues when fishing a lot over reefs? I've only really seen them on bottom fishing presentations where that part of the line is lying flat against the bottom, or you're using it to combat lady fish or sharks.
Do any of you find yourself needing to adjust the knot on the jighead constantly so that it sits up when working it?

they have the egg corks with the rattles inside them, look for the dimple hole or shake them.
as to wire leaders, they work for abrasion but unless the fish are very active and hungry they see the wire and I am convinced the larger trout avoid the bait and you catch smaller fish with swivels and wire leaders. whit trout don't seam to care about the leader but I see a noticeable difference with specks when using them. the ones I tried using were the small 6 or 8" black leaders but I found its better not to use them and just retie more often.
