Howdy, Foax! Hope this is a really basic problem with an easy answer, but its solution is well past my limited experience.

Haven’t fished for bluegill with a pole in more than 50 years, and am confronting the task of taking my grandson fishing. Our designated fishing area is a small tributary not 200 yards off a powerful Georgia river, itself no more than a few miles from the Atlantic, heavily influenced by tidal ranges, and packed with papermouths.

Because we’re fishing from a heavily-jungled shore, with tall marsh grasses and a thick overhead canopy, we’re using a 14’ telescoping rod with the standard ‘gill rig: 10# mono, a bobber, split shot, and a size 10 hook. Here’s the question at last: how can I set this rig up for a rapid changeover from the single hook, to a treble, to a small jig, etc., without reducing our ability to catch fish?

Now, you may fairly ask why I can’t just clip the old set off and tie on a new one. Well, it’s because my vision is failing and my fingers no longer have the agility they once did. If I could make a number of “leaders” at home and at leisure, with a quick-change setup I’d be in business.

Many thanks for your time and attention!

Best regards, Walt
