The split shot rig is likely one of the first presentations used by most anglers as they start the fishing journey. No doubt the split shot rig is one of the simplest rigs to setup and rig.
Tie a hook on the end of your line; add a small split shot several inches up the line; then thread on some sort of bait (usually a night crawler or some type of live bait) onto the hook and the new angler is on their way to catching just about any fish that swims.
Over time, bass anglers found this rig is also very effective and versatile on shallow bass just by swapping out the night crawler for a variety of small soft plastic lures such as curly tail grubs, small worms, craws and even Ned baits.
