DumBassFishin

Hi I was looking for a new bait to gain confidence in as I am just starting out (kinda). I have already gained confidence with a square bill, but they are too expensive and get hung up easily, and a t-rigged worm/senko but i have to fish them so slow so i dont like using them when i just start fishing in a new place. So... -I fish from the bank, mostly park ponds. hardly anything over ~8 acres (i will fish table rock lake a few times a year, mostly around docks, still from shore) -All i have is a 6'6" med. cherrywood (graphite/fiberglass hybrid) spooled with 8lb stren mono and a med/light(feels more like a med, though) graphite spooled with 6lb pline cx -I will always take numbers over size. i dont care how big they are, as long as im catching bass So what would be a good lure/rig to start using this year that will cover water at a decent pace and is good for lots of little bass and is easy for beginners to learn? Thanks
