Hey thank you for all the replies. I think after reading this I have a pretty good idea on what I is a good starting setup so thank you again

spinning, as for lures mostly top water and maybe some plastic worms... Im in florida and will be fishing mostly ponds that vary in vegetation but mostly mud i think

spinning

mostly looking do pond fishing

I havent used one before but most of my fishing was a kid with just a bobber so thank you. Would you suggest any other changes or is the rest of my setup correct?

As you can tell from the title I am pretty new to bass fishing. Have done it a couple times with a guide but never had to set up a line and reel myself. I currently have a ugly stick kit with a medium heavy rod with a Shakespeare real with about 300 yards of 12lb trilene xl smooth casting monofilament on it. I have seen that you should put a leader so I bought some leaders that are 50 lb 20in Fluorocarbon Leader line with Swivel and Snap and tied on with a San Diego Jam Knot. I setup all of this based off youtube videos but I am wondering if anyone has suggestions or can just tell me if I did this completely wrong.
