>>2414122I started with this exact same setup with no luck. Same split shot before the swivel and everything. For this technique you do want to just reel it in a little faster.
What I did and what I would recommend is starting with a Carolina rig with some floating bait. It's what allowed me to start catching consistently, grow confident, and now I am exploring more advanced techniques like using spinners.
Picrelated. I'd recommend Powerboat. I like the floating eggs, and the floating fake worms. Good luck anon I love fishing and being successful for the first few times was a really awesome experience.
