Begin by gripping the end of your line and sliding one egg sinker onto it. Attach a swivel to the line's termination. When a rainbow trout is hooked, the swivel will function as a "stopper" and will also aid to avoid line twist. A pair of gang hooks is now attached to the opposite end of the swivel. One gang hook has a 7-inch length while the other has an 8-inch length. To start the fish off deep enough for safety purposes, drop a bait ball 10 feet below the surface. If necessary, drop more balls in search of bigger ones. Wait about 30 minutes after dropping the first ball before starting to look for signs of a bite. That way any hungry bass that were already in pursuit of smaller prey will have had time to move on. If no bites are happening after an hour, then it's time to move down deeper until you find some that like what they're eating. Don't go deeper than 20 feet unless you have experience fishing in waters with strong currents or piers. Otherwise, you might just scare away any remaining fish! Once you find some willing to eat, begin reeling them in slowly but steadily. You want to give them time to realize they aren't going to get eaten today so they swim up towards the surface where you can see them. Once a fish stops fighting, remove the gang hook from its mouth and carefully tug it along the ground until it snaps off near its connection point to the line.
