Hook Lure
How should I setup my lure, hook, jig?
I just picked up a setup today from the local tackle shop for surf, and pier fishing for around here in Tampa/Clearwater, FL. My question is what exactly should I setup here, and how exactly do I do it? I have my main line setup, and then my lead line I think it is called attached to it already so I can attach my lures, hooks, and jigs. I just don’t know exactly what I should setup here, and do I attach a egg weight a foot or so above the hook with bait then a half a foot or so below that attach my lure at the end or should I setup a bottom fishing rig?
Sorry this is a lot of questions, but I will be very thankful for everyone who can even answer one half way!
Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
Also one more detail, if I didn’t make it clear this is saltwater fishing. I’m not fishing for a particular fish other than grouper probably but overall just any decent sized fish.
I think you are asking whether to have a bottomfishing rig or another type. Bottom fishing jigs catch all kind of “trash fish”, such as stingray, shark, and catfish. You will also catch flounder and most anything else. A bottomfishing rig is setup with the snap swivel first, then the sinker, then the hook, which you may want to attach by a wire leader. Leave about two or three feet of line or leader between the hook and everything else. This will put only the bait/lure in sight to a fish, and won’t scare them, or worry them at all. The weight can be attached right to the snap swivel. A bottom fishing rig is great. My favorite thing to do with two rods, (if possible), is to cast out a bottom rig far with a long rod, or drop it with a baitcaster. Then with another spinning rod, or a smaller spinning rod, keep casting out a lure. This will let you fish two styles, and you won’t sit there, you can keep casting a lure, but with all the effectiveness of bait.
