Thats way to much work. I have a little johnny walker 36inch pole that cost $2 14 years ago at an academy sporting goods with a $4 shakespeare real holding 8lb cajun red cast line with a brass snap swivel on it. I use a long shank #8 aberdeen cricket hook with a quarter inch hunk of worm, a piece of removeable split shot, and if I am a a creek instead of a dock on a lake I use a 9cent polyfoam bobber.
Last year this rig caugh 4 bass larger than 9lbs and so many perch and catfish I lost count. In fact the only problem I had was a couple of larger catfish that kept straightening my hooks. . . . This el cheapo rig works better than my several hundred hollar big bass rigs do. . . . GoodOlBoy

It's funny you say that GOB,
Over the past couple of seasons of taking my young niece or nephew fishing, I've kinda found myself having a simple slip bobber rig at the ready, even when I'm by myself. For active fish, I'll fish it a little more agressively by swimming the live bait rig more frequently between pauses or twitches and have to admit, I've also taken some dandy fish (no 9# LM, but some respectable fish all the same  Sometimes (actually, most of the time) simpler is better.
