A good thing to remem­ber is the smaller the sinker usu­ally the bet­ter you are. The sinker is to get your line down to the bot­tom. Too much sinker gets you down to the bot­tom but makes you fight the sinker instead of the fish. When the fish is not at the bot­tom but run­ning some­where in the mid­dle a sinker will hold live bait down to keep them where the fish are.

Swivels are a must do. Swivels keep your line from get­ting all twisted up. Allows you a bet­ter feel for the fish and keeps the line from get­ting kinks and knots as your bait swims around.
