Slip Sinker Rig (Video Included)

Wade's World Fishing: The slip sinker rig (also called the “walking sinker rig”) is designed to slowly crawl live bait along breaklines, rock reefs, humps or other fish-holding bottom structure. Here’s how to tie a slip sinker rig.

  • Pass the line through the wire loop or hole in the slip sinker, and slide the sinker up the line.
  • Tie a small barrel swivel to the end of the line.
  • Tie a 3-foot monofilament leader to the other end of the barrel swivel.
  • Tie on a small baitholder hook on the end of the leader.
  • Bait up, lower or cast the line so the sinker hits bottom, and start the trolling run or retrieve.
