  2. Hi all, I'm new to the forums and have hopefully an easy question to answer. Long story short.... for years, I've been fishing with my grandfather. I never had my own equipment or anything like that, I would just use what he had, when he went out. Unfortunately, this past summer he passed away. When my mom and my aunts cleaned out his house, they unfortunately tossed out most/if not all, his fishing equipment. The only thing I managed to get from it was a Shakespeare rod/reel that I used a lot when I was fishing with him. So, this leads to my question.......I want to continue on the tradition with my son and I'd like to get more involved in fishing. Obviously, since I'm "starting out on my own", I don't want to throw a ton of money into it, but I'd like to be able to get the basics, and this is where I'm looking for your help. I live in north Georgia (metro Atlanta area). In the area we have your typical bass, crappie, catfish and panfish. We (meaning me and Gramps) tended to fish in areas heavy with bass. So I'm looking to "build up" a new tackle box with necessities. Any thoughts? I'm looking to spend between $ 100 and $ 200 to get started (I hope that's enough). Thanks, Jon
