A simple bottom or float-free worm rig
A simple bottom or float-free worm rig — step 4 of 7 in Shore Fishing with a Spinning Rod. Improved clinch or Palomar to a size 6 hook. One or two split shot 30–40 cm up the line. Worm hooked once through so it still moves.
Free fishing tip: A simple bottom or float-free worm rig (step 4 of 7 from "Shore Fishing with a Spinning Rod").
Improved clinch or Palomar to a size 6 hook. One or two split shot 30–40 cm up the line. Worm hooked once through so it still moves. Or a 7–10 g spinner on a snap — no extra weight.
Barbs: pinch them if you want easier release. Keep a spare hook in the box. Do not make a three-hook chandelier on day one.
Pro tip: Pliers in the pocket. Fish with teeth are not a puzzle you solve with fingernails.
