When it comes to fishing, there is a lot of debate over whether the sinker goes above or below the hook. The answer really depends on the type of fish you are trying to catch and the conditions of the water. If you are fishing in deep water, it is generally best to put the sinker below the hook so that your bait sinks down to where the fish are. However, if you are fishing in shallow water or near vegetation, putting the sinker above the hook can help keep your bait from getting snagged. Ultimately, it is up to you to experiment and see what works best in each situation.
