cheezledzul Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Just spent $200 on new reel and spinning rod. Going bass fishing/camping in 2 weeks on a lake for 3 days. Supposably full of sm bass. Shore and kayak fishing. Buying new line (braided), lures, nd hooks. Already picked 3/16 bullets and vmc offset heavy duty widegap hooks 3/0 along with a 50 pack of offset hooks 1/0-5/0. What are your top 3 recommendations? Trying to cover a variety of needs and techniques. But for now trying to stick to 3 total types because of money. Simplicity and ease of use are a plus. Will be with people even newer than myself. Buying and supplying gear for everyone. Picking up a pack of 4" yum dinger senkos watermelon red flake and watermelon lam. Do plastic swimming paddle tails work better? Senkos are cheap snagless and easy to use so theyll be the main rig used. Thinking about getting a lunkerhunt kraken spinner colorado. What color do you reccomend? Or stay away from spinners and just use some old rooster tails I already have? What about ascending crankbait? Tdlr: getting 4"(?) senkos. Need 2 other types of lures to get. Specific colors, brand, size/weight would help. Like I said senkos will be the bulk of my lures because of cost and ease of use for everyone. Can fish top and even bottom with it. I figure this with 2 other types will make it simple while giving us all the best chance of success so they're not turned off in the future! Thanks in advance!

TylerT123 Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Johnson Beetlespins, they are cheap and come with extra plastics, great for smallies. 1 Quote
Super User Angry John Posted July 22, 2018 Super User Posted July 22, 2018 Tubes flukes and worms. Easy cheap and the same hooks. If it was me I would get robo worms and a pack of dropshot hooks. The 6" strait tail can be drop shot, split shot, wacky rigged, shakey headed and just about any thing else you can imagine. 1 Quote

Tubes are senkos right? Quote

cheezledzul Posted July 23, 2018 Author Posted July 23, 2018 Ook cool, thanks. Tube color? Can I use the same 3/0 offset senko hooks and bullet hooks with an oring? Might have some other hooks that wont move. Trying to buy stuff with as many uses as possible to start. Quote

I'd personally get some of the tube jig hooks, but you can use the 3/0 worm hooks to texas rig it with a bullet weight. I just thought of another one for you to consider - a grubtail jig will catch just about everything that swims. They're dirt cheap at WalMart too! Same colors I recommended earlier. Black seems to be the best producer for me. 2 Quote
papajoe222 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Three baits that are simple to use, cover water quickly and target different depths are a spinnerbait, lipless crank and a deep diving crank. You can go with a buzzbait in place of the spinnerbait and seeing as you've already purchased weights, a C-rig will cover your bottom presentation. 1 Quote
Super User tcbass Posted July 23, 2018 Super User Posted July 23, 2018 Maybe more expensive than you want but 3 Whopper Plopper 90's or 75's if you can get them would be a lot of fun for smallies on topwater. Quote
thinkingredneck Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Get some 4 to 6 inch worms. Walmart. Black, watermelon red flake, green pumpkin and June bug are very popular. Straight tail is fine. Grubs and in line spinners are great. Quote
