setting up the fishing rod for freshwater fishing?
Ace asked:
This is gonna sound a bit embarrassing, i haven’t gone freshwater fishing in like 10 years, i actually forgot how to rig the rod what goes on top the weights or the hook, do u put the weights on and then put the hook below it or do u put the hook on first and the weights below it… Please help

lol no problem man I’ll help you out anytime…first choose an appropriately sized hook tie it on very well hopefully you member’ how to tie a knot if not then let me know…then get your weights and space then just where you need them…use plyers and put the line in the ***** of the weight and push down so it stays on….if they are other weights then you can put them through the hook then bring them up and tie a knot with them…ot some you have rubber and you have to twist them on…hope I could help you but you’ll figure it out…glad to hear that you’ve come back to fishing…we all welcome you back cept’ the fish though lol
I always put my sinker on first. The way the other guy explained may work well for him or both of you, but not me.
All I do is Bass fish so the very first thing I do when rigging a Plastic Worm is putting the slip sinker one first. Afterwards I go down about 2-3 inchs of line (down the line) and tie my 3/0 hook on and I’m ready to go.
Even when I catfished and bream fished back in the day, I still rigged my reels just like I do now. The only difference is I used a split shot sinker (about 3-4 inchs “above” the hook) instead of a slip sinker.
