1. Fish hooks are used to catch the fish by impaling them in the mouth or, on occasion, by snagging its body.
2. Anglers will need a fishing line, the cord that is attached to the hook, in order to catch the fish. Length, material and weight are important factors to consider.
3. A sinker or plummet is a weight that is used with the fishing lure or hook to increase the speed at which it sinks.
4. A float or bobber is used in angling for two purposes - one is to suspend the bait at a predetermined depth, while the second is to serve as a bite indicator.
