How to fish the Stocked Trout Ready Rig
This section is built to be the QR-code destination printed on your product label. Add a short video later, but this gives customers clear instructions immediately.
- Slide a sinker or add split shot to your main line if needed.
- Tie your main line to the swivel on the pre-tied rig.
- Add bait to the hook without covering the entire hook gap.
- Cast gently and let the bait settle.
- Watch your line for taps, movement, or slack.
- Check local rules before fishing and adjust bait/weight for conditions.

Why Hard Knox?
