Hi Andy,
  Use the rubber jigs and the backing line to hobo fish 
A rubber jig is just a specific fishing lure (there are vast aray of lures available), hobo fishing is just fishing without the normal rod and reel most folks use, its essentially improvised fishing using a stick for a rod or an aluminium drinks can as a reel etc. Backing line is just line which is used in fly fishing.
