How do you set up a fishing line for beginners?
by
Start with an arm’s length of 30- to 50-pound monofilament fishing line as a leader. Tie four 2- to 3-inch dropper loop knots 3 to 4 inches apart. Attach a sinker to the bottom loop using one of your fishing knots. Tie a hook to each of the two middle loops.
To spool a spinning reel, first open the bail by flipping up the handle. Then, string your line straight through the circular guides at the bottom of the rod and secure the line to the spool with an arbor knot. Next, cut any extra line with line cutters before closing the bail and placing the spool on the floor.
Roller guides help guide the fishing line and create less friction on the line when the rod is bent in a sharp arch.

How far should a bobber be from the hook?
For the bobber, a smaller one is more sensitive and offers less resistance to the fish so it can eat your bait easily. Finally, a short distance between the bobber and the hook (1 to 2 feet, normally) gets your worm in front of many fish yet keeps your hook from snagging the bottom.
What is the difference between a floater and a sinker?
Density, Sinking and Floating
The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float. An object that has a higher density than the liquid it’s in will sink. An object that has a lower density than the liquid it’s in will float.

Is it better to fish with or without a bobber?
Is it better to fish with or without a bobber? If fishing live bait for trout, panfish, and bullheads, or you want to suspend your bait off the bottom, a bobber is beneficial to most fishermen. If you are fishing large bait for bigger fish or fishing on the bottom, a bobber can be detrimental to your fishing success.
I use the least amount of weight possible usually about 12 – 18″ above the bait. If more weight is needed then I space them out across the distance from the bait to the float. heavier weights closer to the float and lighter on the bait end.
What’s the difference between a float and a bobber?
Bobbers are usually round and brightly colored devices in red/white or yellow/green so they can easily be seen by the fishermen. Floats on the other hand tend to be long and slim and for the most part less visible except for the tip top.
