If I ordered 1 bag of Senko, 1 bag of Fat Ika, and 1 bag of EWG hooks it would be 17.47.  But its all of the colors that were specified by the thread. After reading the thread this is what is recommended for me to buy to have a bigger chance of catching bass.

Which route should I go?

Start by buying the box and then add whatever else you think you need!

BTW, Welcome aboard!

Yea, I agree with RW.

That seems to be a pretty good deal even though there are several colors that I don't care for. Where might I ask did you find them??

Whatever floats your boat.  I dont buy kits because im picky on colors, sizes, baits and so on.  But if the hooks and baits sound good to you then the box is cheaper.

I agree with bassinboy.  I'm just way too picky, thats why i never buy the boxes

yes im also like bassin boy and bassinbrett   the only times i pick up kits is when they are really really cheap and/or have the colors im looking for  

Box it is!

the box

id go with the box if your ok with the color choice

If you fish the grubs or ika on a jighead in the rocks you will lose at least three a day. especially if you are not used to fishing them. on a good day you will use a bag of senkos easily. you will build a greater confidence in ONE of those colors and sizes than all of the others combined, even though it may not be the perfect choice. choose a basic color for the body of water you are fishing. clear-natural colors/ dirty water-brighter colors or a dark color with a chartruese tail. personally I wouldnt start with any of the colors in the mentioned box but thats just me (very picky too!!)
