It consists of hooks and sinkers . . . If you're in doubt as to what you need for where you're going to fish, pay a visit to a nearby bait and tackle shop or sporting goods store. They'll be eager to assist. Personally, we're big on bobbers. Buy a handful of bobbers, the round ones, red and white, of course.
Bobbers are great fun for kids, especially in freshwater.
Youngsters love to watch them and they make it easy to detect a fish's nibble. Bobbers are made to be used in non-moving water situations, like a lake or pond, not particularly a stream or river. Put the bobber approximately two to three feet above the bait and sit back and watch. The colorful action is almost hypnotic. It would also be really good for you to get the youngster his or her own little tackle box.
