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.
Sinkers (Weights): Needed to keep your bait down. Start with split shot sinkers.
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.
