BullBoxer (12/9/2009)What works in one place doesn't necessarily mean it will work in another. I feel as if trout over this way are far more inclined to hit live baits than artificials.

i kinda disagree... just because it isn't common in another place, doesn't mean it can't work. a perfect example of this is kingfishing from the pier at pensacola or navarre... simple piece of wire and a bronze treble connected to some 15lb mono with a swivel. nothing else and it works. over here in texas, NOBODY fishes like that and it didn't work here because no one tried it. so, this summer i used my method (how i learned growing up in florida) and i outfished the rest of the guys on the jetties with me. same thing with skipping DOA shrimp under docks... nobody does it here. but i've caught some good snook and trout around docks by skipping artificials (south florida method).
i think the corky WILL work in florida and i plan on trying it out some time. i think if mirrolure does a good job at replicating the corky and markets it correctly, it has a good chance at becoming the "go-to" artificial for guys who know how to target big trout in the colder months. but we'll just have to wait and see.
