Thanks everyone for your help.

I can return these products and get something else if you guys think my selection is not that great.

I want to try and use a shakey head jig. I bought some war eagle shakey head jigs and Zoom Trick Worms. Looking online when I got home, it appears that the jigs I bought look like regular jigs. http://www.walmart.com/ip/War-Eagle-3-16-oz-Shaky-Head-Green-Pumpkin/34347561 http://www.cabelas.com/product/War-Eagle-Shaky-Head/1508658.uts?WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products What makes these jigs "shakey"? Also I thought that saltless worms float but it appears that trick worms do not. Are they not suitable for the jigs I about to be used as a shakey head jig?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and opinions. New2BC4bass, The rod is a Cabelas exclusive. Fenwick Silverhawk

It looks like the rod line recommendation is 6-10lb. Lure 1/8-1/2 oz. So as long as the lure is in that range, I should be ok? You say no to normal bass jigs. BPS has many bass jigs in my lure range. This link below has bass jigs that are within the lure rating I stated above. Can I use those or still no to those? http://www.basspro.com/Strike-King-KVD-Swim-Jig/product/73171/

Hello everyone. I am trying to get into fishing. My better half bought me a rod and reel for our anniversary. The lakes I will go to will have Spotted Bass, Large mouth, striped bass, Black Crappie, and bluegill. The rod and reel are nice but according to the forum threads I have read, my rod isn't ideal. I have the following: 6'6" Fenwick Rod. It is M/L power with fast action. Pflueger 6930 reel with 8lb Trilene I am a noob so I don't know what bait to use but I was probably going to use soft plastic worms and frogs, nightcrawlers, crankbait, and spinners. Will my setup work well for bank lake fishing for these species? Mostly bank but boat on rare occasions. I can't return these items without hurting my wifes feeelings so dont want to exchange it. Thanks
