Hi I'm fairly new angler living in the Chicago suburbs and, I'm 14 years of age and need help growing my arsenal. I fish a pond that has murky water and has lots of algae. I can catch a fair amount of bass with live minnows, but am looking to use artificial baits since i cannot always purchase minnows due to lack of transportation. Here is what I have now,
7' Abu Garcia Veritas rod with a Black Max reel Medium power with fast action
KVD 2.5 crankbait (white with chartreuse stripe)
1/0 2/0 and 4/0 gamagatzu wide gap hooks
1/0 trailer hooks
buzzbait (Black and red)
Spinnerbait (white with chartreuse stripe)
KVD perfect plastic rodents (green pumpkin)
KVD perfect plastic fat baby finesse (candy craw)
Flukes (white and black)
artificial craws (june bug)
Zoom swimbaits (watermelon)
4" powerworms (watermelon)
Powerworm trailers (watermelon)
1/4 oz weights
12 lb mono
snap and barrel swivels
If you could please recommend things i can add to expand and also new rigs to try, money is a problem, but Christmas is the solution
