I’m taking 6 children from 5 to 12 year olds fishing this weekend. We bought them the short beginning rods and I want to have a setup to where I can just clip (using barrel swivels) a line with snell bait holders, split shot and bobbers. Can this be done? I haven’t fished since 2012 and I know the person I was fishing with had a similar setup because it can be a pain having to setup several rigs at one time.
Am I being foolish in wanting to have things setup ahead of time. Attached is a picture of the items I want to use.

Nothing wrong with getting everything done before you go fishing. Though it can be peaceful setting up by the water nobody wants to do it while 6 kids are antsy watching lol
That was exactly how I taught my boyfriend how to fish, set him up a snap swivel, threw a snell hook on there and a worm! Nothing wrong with getting it all set up!
Sorry getting major Cobra Kai off the manufacturers name.
I took 5 teenagers pier fishing one summer. 2 hrs in i was only 1 left on pier, they was playing in the surf
Should be good! I use a little snap swivel for my snelled hooks too, just quicker that way. I personally don’t use a split shot with my hook/bobber setup. I just hook some live worms on there and chuck them out, as far as I can without losing the worm.
I always set up my rods before going out, it’s the best way to do it
Should be totally fine! You can tie the swivel on, clamp weights above it and even clip on the bobbers right now if you want
