welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well if you are just generalizing , get some bobbers , spreaders for cat fish , shallow and medium depth  crank baits , rat-l- traps.

 Good answers already, just wanted to say WELCOME to the Forum. Wanted to say start out simple with a couple of baits and learn to the point of being comfortable before going on to something else...
