Where do you put the sinker in adjacent to the hook? What size sinker for what fishing....etc...and also how to rig it for bobber fishing. Is there a site that will show me all of that? Thanks THINK IN TERMS OF FEEL, RIG YOUR POLE TO FEEL WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE END THAT YOU CAN'T SEE. USE ENOUGH WEIGHT SO THAT YOU CAN FEEL IT ON THE TIP OF YOUR POLE. ( YOU COULD USE NO WEIGHT AT ALL, BUT IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE HOOK FROM LINE RESISTANCE.) TO DIFFERENTIATE THE FEEL OF THE SINKER FROM A NIBBLE, ALLOW THE SINKER TO SLIDE ON THE LINE. PLACE A SPLIT SHOT SINKER 1 FOOT OR SO FROM THE HOOK SO THAT THE MAIN SINKER WON'T CONTACT THE HOOK. A FISH CAN MOVE OFF WITH THE BAIT WITH OUT HAVING TO HAUL THE SINKER AROUND THUS SENDING A SIGNAL TO YOUR POLE WITH OUT THE FISH BEING TIPPED OFF BY THE SINKER WEIGHT. WHAT EVER YOU RIG UP, APPROACH IT FROM THE ANGLE OF OBTAINING MAXIMUM FEEL OF WHATS HAPPENING ON THE BUSINESS END AND YOU WILL DO WELL.
