How it is used here

Using a weights like this on Tennessee water

Terminal tackle is the hooks, weights, floats and rigging that connect the line to the bait. It is where most fish are lost, usually to a hook that is the wrong size or a knot that was tied in a hurry. The sizes on each checklist match the bait and the mouth of the fish on that list: small hooks for bluegill and trout, wide gap hooks for plastic worms, circle hooks for catfish so the fish hooks itself.

Tennessee’s reservoirs have a lot of rock and timber, so carry more than you think you need. A pack of hooks and a few weights live in every kit on this site for a reason.
