Welcome Bill.

If they are real cork not this new plasticky stuff, they make fine bass poppers and saltwater poppers providing you can find hooks the right length. I had a bunch of them but wasn't about to buy hooks just to fit them and had none that did. (The plastic corks might work. I just don't know.)

As far as patterns go, I like straight black and frog....green top/pale yellow or white bottom.

Here's a link from my favorites: http://bassbugjournal.wordpress.com/bass-bug-reading-list/

A list of resources on how to make and use Bass Bugs. Additionally the Bass Bug Journal has a lot of how to incldued elsewhere.

here's another: http://doit101.com/Recreation/Flytie/flietie.htm#floating

check out his drawings for ideas on shape and dressing them--I also use ebay bass bugs for sale and have a list of a hundred of so from the past that covers all aspects of shape, size and dressing.
