- 1). Choose the size bullet sinker you want to use. Consider the current if you are river fishing and the distance you'd like to cast. Make sure the sinker is not so heavy it breaks your line when you cast. Cut off about 2 1/2 feet of line and set it aside.
- 2). Thread your line through all the eyes on the rod, pulling out a few feet so you'll have room to work.
- 3). Thread the bullet sinker on the line with the pointy end toward your rod.
- 4). Take a size 7 barrel swivel and tie the end of the line to one of the loops of the barrel swivel. Let your bullet sinker fall down to the top of the barrel swivel. Take the line you placed to the side and tie it to the bottom of the barrel sinker. Tie a bass hook to the other end of the line.
- 5). Place a rubber worm of your choice on the worm hook. Make a cast and allow the rig to sink. Slowly raise your rod tip until the line is taut. Twitch or jiggle the line. Lower the rod tip to get slack in your line. When the slack is in your line you'll be able to see the line start to go out when you get a strike.
