How to String, Rig, and Set Up a New Fishing Rod with Line, Bobber, Weights, and Hook

A quick video on How to set up / rig a new fishing rod and reel for the beginner with line, bobber, weights, and hooks. Part of the beginner fishing series!
Hope this helps put you on some fish! Best of Luck Fishing!!
Amazon.com Links to my favorite beginner lures:
1. Inline Spinner: amzn.to/2IL8iLk
- Use with 4-8lb test on light action rod and reel
-Catches bass, crappie, bluegill, trout, and tons of other species
2. Square bill Crankbait: amzn.to/3f2h0jU
- Use with 8-14lb test line. Great for bass!
Thank you for watching!

    I have not been fishing since I was a teenager. Now that I'm 42 I needed help setting up my new rod. I tried a few videos and they didn't help at all. This guy did a great video. It's short and direct with no random AC/DC music or filler video. Thank You!!!

Now I want to take my kids fishing and I hard time putting the rods together. I knew I was missing something, and yes, I need to change the weights and add a bobber. We are going back to fresh water fish tomorrow, and we will use real worms. I am so excited. 😊

And seeing you actually catching fish with the set up makes me feel hopeful that I can do it! I used to go fishing with my dad when I was young but he set up the poles etc. He passed away and I’ve wanted to start fishing but needed to learn how to set it up to go by myself. Thanks! Can you do a video on how to catch and release and get the hook out of the fish?

I bought an inexpensive pool for immediate use. The line was already wound onto it, but I can't find the spot where I can pull it out. Should I just use my fingernail clippers to cut it?
