Where does the hook and weight go on a fishing line?

To rig a fishing line with a basic bobber, start by placing the bobber the same distance above the fishing line as the distance from the surface to the bottom of the water. Next, tie a hook onto the end of your line and place the split shots 2 to 3 inches above the hook.

What goes first the weight or the hook?

A good rule of thumb when learning how to fish, is to wait and feel the weight of the fish before setting it. If the fish is cautious and just tapping your fishing line and bait lightly, and not biting it, it’s best to wait. Let the fish take the bait, and then set the hook after you feel its weight.

Does the weight go above or below the hook?

Attach the sinker about 2 ft (0.61 m) above the hook.

Leaving space between the sinker and hook helps your bait float up so it’s more visible to fish. Measure up from the top of your hook and pinch the line so you don’t lose your place.

How far should your hook be from your 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.

Should hook length be stronger than Main Line?

AS a general rule, your hooklength should be at least a pound lighter in breaking strain than your mainline. Many anglers, especially matchmen, now express all their lines – reel/rig lines and hooklengths – in terms of the line’s diameter in millimetres.

Does the weight go above the bobber?

Crimp a small split-shot sinker on your line just below the bobber, enough weight to help keep the bobber upright but not so much that it sinks the float. Fresh bait puts out natural scents that attract fish, so replace your worm once it gets soggy and turns pale.

Does color of bobber matter?

I think everyone who has ever fished has used one of the big plastic round bobbers. Most often you see them are red and white, but red and yellow in another common color combination, but any color bobber will work. The colors are there to help the angler see it when it’s out in the water.

How far should weight and bobber be from hook?

BASIC BOBBER RIG

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.
