Basically the most common i think is a slip sinker on your main line, then tie on a swivel, then at least a foot of mono leader... depending on your species your after.. I normally use anywher from a size 2 or 1 owner hook. Some times I use a 1/0 or 2/0 hook. Just match your hook to your species, if your not catching fish, then down size your hook, if that doesn't work then down size your leader. if that doesn't work, try diff bait, and diff spot, if that doesnt work tell me (SLEEPY) or (PIERFISH) or (FISHAHOLIC) and we will help you catch some fish, and then if that doesn't work we will go to the store and by some fish and take pictures of them and lie to everyone....
