a sliding sinker. then, attach using abasic twist knot, a swivel to the other side of the swivel you would attach apiece of monofilament or fluorocarbon leader material. fluorocarbon is actually idealbecause it is extremely clear underwater and in other words the fish can't see itand it also has better abrasion
