New Tackle Sugestions

[WRB]

Having wide variety of bass lures doesn't make a bass angler, you will gather up more than need without trying.

What is important to know before trying to give you any advice is what type of rod and reel do you fish with?

Model numbers help a lot. Line type and lb test.

helping me out quite a bit. so is everyone else. water one lake is clean can see the fish sand bottom, but others are stained with trees and bushes in the water with some grass. also one i know has lots of large bass but covered in all kinds of vegetation from top to bottom.

For the lake that is clear and full of sand, I would suggest using the spinnerbaits and crankbaits to help locate active fish. Usually the more natural colors work best in these situations use bluegill and shad patterns. Once you find active fish slow down and use either the weightless senko for water less than 8 ft and learn to use a dropshot for depths over 8 ft. a dropshot is one of the most reliable presentations out there especially in clean water. the colors for the dropshot that are best are again natural colors and translucent. The KVD dream shot is good also the robo worm makes a good dropshot bait, but to catch the numbers of fish try a berkley gulp leech or minnow. for the stained water lake the spinnerbaits would work very well up in the wood and bushes. the more bright colors (chartreuse or Black) will probabily work well.  also if you have stump fields and brush a square bill crankbait is hard to beat. there are lots of brands out there find a price range that works for you a couple colors that should work is the chartreuse and black, bluegill, maybe a black or blue back with silver sides as well. For the lake with all the weeds the spinerbait should work well also the storm swimbaits work great ripping through the weeds. weeds are your friend, find good weeds and a drop off near by you should be in business, use that dropshot on the outside weed edge. there are many other techniques that would work for these lakes that you are fishing, but these few should help you catch some good fish, and should give you the confidence to explore new techniques. good luck.

I added some drop shot weights now too. I chose mostly green pumpkin bc they are a darker color bait, most people use them, an i think/ hope they can be used in most if not all water conditions.

also thinking about putting some braid on the spinner. that way it can be used for catfish too.

Nice I like the lure selection, the only observation I see that might be a problem is the worm hooks are quite small in my opinion. I throw the havvoc pit boss on atleast a 3/0 EWG or most commonly a 4/0 EWG. with the 2/0 and the 1/0 you probabily wont have the hookup ratio you would want. also I see that you have some form of an A-rig. I like the thought, but be careful those lures require pretty long and heavy action rods with some pretty beefy line as well. after going to BP it looks like you will be good to go.
