What kind of weight should be used on this type of set up for bass, reds, trout, etc? If I have a bullet weight, do I just let it slide all the way down to the hook or does it need to be tied up somehow? Yeah, I know I'm a dumbass when it comes to this but I don't know you guys so I can ask

Pictures and step by steps encouraged

Weight size is dependent on depth/cover fished

Sometimes I put a plastic bead in between the hook and sinker

i'd argue no, its all about the motion of the ocean.

I thread the weight on the line. Tie a 3/0 worm hook on. Then put work or soft plastic for bass. Texas rigged

So difficult

all you got to do is put a bullet weight above the hook, weight then hook...i use 1/8 oz weight most of the time..i go heavier depending on conditions (depth, cover, wind)

Yeah, except for when I sometimes put a plastic bead in-between the hook and sinker

Ok, so why is the swivel necessary sometimes and not others?
