You can actually buy that PQ/Carbonlite combo for about 160. I'd recommend that. As far as tackle goes, I feel like a 3/0-4/0 offset or EWG hook will let you rig most plastics. I would get some 1/4-1/2oz bullet weights, preferably tungsten if you ask me. Then some combination of stick worms (can't go wrong with GY Senkos but I also like Yum Dingers and BPS Stick-O's), trick worms, ribbon tail worms, creature baits (brush hawg, lizard, etc.), flukes and/or super flukes and some craw style lures (I like Rage Tail Craws and Reaction Innovation Sweet Beavers). Then some spinner baits and some jigs and swim jigs (1/4 - 1/2oz depening on which rod you get). That should give you a good start.

Yeah i know I saw the combo today that why I asked if that was the rod they talked about. I was thinking of buying works, bullet weights, 4/0 EWG  hooks and taking it out this sunday to our new river cabin and seeing how well I do with those. Then go back and buy some spinner bait and jigs.

Can't really go wrong with a texas rigged worm. Thats what I learned to fish on (and squarebills).
