http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/118364-hello-everyone/ is my introduction and this is my rod and reel set up right now for my baitcaster. http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Pro-Qualifier-Baitcast-Reel-Left-Hand-Retrive-Model-PQX10SLD/product/102287/ the 5:2 gear one and the rod is http://www.basspro.com/Shakespeare-Ugly-Stik-Trigger-Rod-7-MH/product/21815/ yes I only use ugly stiks because I have had 2 other rod brands break on me why cat fishing and never have had a ugly stik break. The rod I may buy a different one but it will still be a 7' ugly stik. As for the line I can respool the baitcaster with 30lb thats no big deal.

Hey my name is Seth. I live in Alabama and currently awaiting my ship off date for the Marine Corps boot camp. I have always been a big catfisher but I really want to get in to fishing other types of fish. Bass is somthing I have always wanted to fish for but never have been taught or took the time to learn how. Hopefully I will catch my first bass this summer. I am 19 years old. I am pretty much in to cars, and want to get more in to fishing. If you want to know anything else let me know.

I am probably the most inexperenced bass fisher and maybe fisher all together someone knows of. I can catfish that is about it. I want to bass fish though. I just bought a new baitcaster and rod it was 160$ for the pair for not a cheap set up. Has 20lb braided on the reel. What type of hooks, lure, bait or just tackle in general would I need to fish for bass? If someone would help me so I know what to buy that would be great.
