How do I rig a fishing rod?
Please explain the order that I need to tie things onto my line as well as how far apart they should be. I’m thinking it should be a sinker12 inches above a lure. But where do the bobber, split shot, and jig go? Also what are bobbers, split shots, and jigs? I know the terms but don’t know what they actually do. Thanks.
here is a drawing I like to keep the bobber about 3 feet above the hook or jig and the split shot(sinker) needs to be about 10 inches to 1 foot above the hook /jig.

Snap swivels are used to attach line to a lure . You tie the line on the round end and the other end which resembles a saftey pin is used to clip on a jig or hook eye.
Split shots are pinched on the line for weight
A jig is a lure with a weighted head and either a feather or soft plastic body and is a good artificial bait and can be bounced orr the bittom and will induce strikes from fish
