As far as the korkers question goes, I doubt it

Wading, however, may be a different story if bass are in a neutral to negative mode - I always subscribed to the theory that they are sensitive to the pressure and presence of a wader even if motionless

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
