If I were putting together a basic list of lures/baits, it might look something like this: Shad rap size 9 in blue and chrome A pack of Zulus or two with large swivels and some worm hooks A topwater of your choice (I like poppers or torpedo topwaters) Original Rapala F9 in black and chrome Daredevle spoon Size 2 hooks and small split shots with live leeches (TGO method) That basic list should allow you to fish basically every depth for every species

Bearings: 3BB, 1RB

A small hook has less metal to grip the fish's mouth and can easily bend or break if too much pressure is applied

The only downside to this approach is it gives jacks more of an advantage as the softer tip will give a lot more than a shorter heavier rod
