How Do You Bait a Fish?
Fishing bait is any substance used to attract and catch fish, e.g. on the end of a fishing hook, or inside a fish trap. Traditionally, nightcrawlers, insects, worms and smaller bait fish have been used for this purpose. Fishermen have also begun using plastic bait and more recently, electronic lures to attract fish.

Considering this, what bait catches the most fish?

Live bait like nightcrawlers, minnows and leeches will catch almost every type of fish, and they're your best options for bottom-feeding fish like catfish, carp and suckers. For predator fish like trout, walleye or bass, small minnow or crawdad imitators are my main choice.

How far should the weight be from the hook?

Place one or two split shot sinkers 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) above the hook. Press your line into the narrow groove running through the middle of the sinkers. When picking out your sinkers, use enough weight to bring the bait closer to the bottom, but not enough to weigh down your line.
