Fishing Line Use monofilament fishing line. It's rated by strength. Start out with an 8 or 10 pound test. Casting plugs help you practice casting in your yard. It's a weight you can tie on the end of your line.
Hooks come in several sizes.
Bobbers keep your bait off the bottom of the water. The bobber floats on top of the water. It's easy to slide the bobber along your string so your bait can hang down in the water just where you want it to be. Sinkers like split-shot sinkers are metal weights that hang on your fishing line near the hook. Sinkers help your that your bait hang in the water where you want it.
