3. Hooks, Weights, and Bobbers
The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
Hooks: Go with a variety pack (sizes 6 to 10). You’ll be covered for most species.

Bobbers (Floats): Keeps your bait at the right depth and shows when you’ve got a bite.
Bonus: Watching a bobber dance is one of the pure joys of fishing. Trust me.
