Basic Bass Fishing Tackle
The fishing rod is the first basic piece of tackle the average bass fisherman needs to consider. I recommend a medium or medium light action graphite spinning rod. I advise buying a rod six foot long. This rod can be used in a variety of different fishing conditions. As you become more experienced you will see the need for more specialized rods at times. I have always used Berkley or Fenwick rods and found them to always be up to the task at hand. You should purchase your rod and reel simultaneously. I advise mounting the reel on the rod and holding it before you make a choice. The rod and reel combo should feel right. Hold the rod direct above where the reel is seated. If you point the rod perpendicular to your body it should balance in a straight line. If it does not the reel may be too big or heavy and need to be replaced with a lighter one.
Your next consideration is the reel. For the average fisherman I recommend an open faced spinning reel. The key here is to match the reel to the line you will be using. I like a reel that holds approximately 150 yards of 8 lb fishing line. I also like a reel with an excellent drag system. You have two choices regarding drag. I prefer reels that have a drag in the back of the reel. For me these drags are easier to adjust. Other people prefer the drag to be in the front of the reel on top of the spool. I consider this a matter of personal preference. Try both and go with what feels best to you. When you purchase a reel you will see a term "gear ratio". They affect the power of the reel. The higher the gear ratio the more line that will be retrieved by each 360 degree turn of the handle.
For line I recommend monofilament line with a test of 8-12 lb. This is as close to an all purpose line that you can get. Again as you become more experienced you will see the need for lighter and heavier lines. I use Berkley Trilene line but have tried all the major brands and found them to be good. They key is to match your line to the reel you have chosen. I like to keep 150 yards of line on my reel. If your reel holds 150 yards of 10 lb line then I advise using that weight. You should always keep an extra spool of line on hand. You should also constantly check your line for nicks and other imperfections that can cause a fish to be lost.
Next I will discuss what selection of artificial baits an average fisherman should have in his tackle box. The average fisherman should have a varied selection of jig combinations. A jig consists of two parts. The jig head is basically a hook with a weight near the eye. You should have several different sizes of hooks and weights. I recommend a selection of 1/16, 1/8 and 1/4 ounce jig heads.
You will next need a collection of skirts. The skirt is what you place on the hook to entice the bass. Skirts are generally made of plastic. They can be in the form of a worm with twister tail or perhaps a more traditional skirt. The key is color and size. Choose an ample supply of many different colors, sizes and styles. These skirts will need to be replaced often so have enough in your box.
Crankbaits are artificial bait all fishermen should have in their boxes. A crankbait is generally made from wood or in some cases plastic. It is shaped like a fish and has a plastic lip directly near the eye. This lip determines how deep the lure will go. Some crankbait are designed to run 2-4 deep while others go much deeper. I always keep about 5 shallow runners and 5 deep runners in my tackle box. Again choose a variety of colors, sizes and shapes. Always before you fish make sure your hooks on these baits are sharp. If not sharpen or replace them. A hook sharpener is a tool all fishermen should have in their tackle box.
