Finally, attach your sinker to the line about 1 foot (0.30 m) below the bobber before attaching your hook.
Where should I put the weight on my fishing line?
Do you need floaters for fishing?
Using a float certainly is not mandatory, however, it does enhance the entire experience! With the combination of the bobber’s weight, a hook with bait, as well as a split shot one can simply cast using a spin or spinning cast rig.
Where do you aim when fishing?
You always want to aim below the fish because the refraction of light makes the fish appear closer to the surface than they are. The distance that you aim depends on how far away you are from the fish, and how deep the fish is in the water.
How far should my hook be from my float?
Set the float first
At the moment you should have a float on the line, fixed at about 18 inches (45 cm) up the line from the hook. If you swing the line out into the water now, the float will either lay flat on the surface or perhaps poke out of the water several inches.
How far should bait be from float?
It floats, it also naturally weighty. To use one slide a ledger stop on to your line, followed by a piece of candle and another ledger stop. As above fix your “float” two to three feet away from your baited hook and start fishing.
If you’re wondering what “The 90/10 Fishing Rule” is, here it is in one sentence: 90% of ALL FEEDING FISH can be found in just 10% of the water in any given time and place.
How do you know when your bait hits the bottom?
When it hits the bottom your line will go slack. Another way to test this is to let the lure drop right next to the boat and count how long it takes to hit the bottom. Then when you cast, let your lure fall for that many seconds and you should be at or near the bottom.
Do you set the hook with a bobber?
1 – Once you see the bobber move, or feel a tug on the line, be sure to set the hook in the fish’s mouth (see #5 under Five Simple Steps to Begin Fishing). After you set the hook, keep the line tight and your rod tip up. Slowly reel in the fish.
Why are fish biting but not hooking?
You are not hooking fish because your hooks are dull, you aren’t setting the hook properly, and your bait is too big. Other common factors can be wrong hook size, and even improperly hooked bait. There can be a wide variety of reasons you are missing fish.
Does the bobber go above or below the weight?
As others have shared, general rule – equal weight under bobber to buoyancy. Personally, I like my bobber floating a little “higher” in the water so I can see it better. So if I have a 1 oz bobber, my terminal below is between 3/4-7/8oz.
Pinch one or two small split shot sinkers to your main line about 6-12 inches from the hook to add a bit of weight to your line (this will keep your bait suspended vertically). If there is current, you can add one or two more split shots.
