Honestly I am new to the bass fishing community. I have lived outta the country for almost 7 years. Before that I lived in North Carolina and all I did was catfish. Needless to say that bass fishing to me at least is a different breed. I have only been bass fishing since February. I have found happiness in not getting all into the rigs and tackle. I own 4 poles now. 3 baitcasters and 1 spinning. Whenever I get caught up in the spending on rigs and tackle I try and let it go. I typically only fish with 1 weightless worm and one weight worm. One baitcaster is for whatever i wanna toss on it like a football jig or spinner. I actually enjoy fishing worms and I do very well with em. Hey if it works it works Just go with my standard 3/0 a green pumpkin worm and a light weight. Sometimes I toss a strike king crawl.
