Hey guys, getting back into fishing. Wondering your advise on tackle and colors (I live in MA). I have fished since I was a kid and have been out of it for 3 or 4 years. Looking to get back into it steadily (3-4 Times a week). Any help would be great. Average Spender.

Good article. I was looking more for brands and peoples favorite.

Give us your favorite style of fishing BassnewB and maybe the type of water you expect to fish, and the group can elaborate a little more to help you get in the groove. Oh, and welcome to the Forum    8-)

Great Site there like the TOP 10 a lot.  Mostly clear water nothing too murky...mix of small mouth and large mouth and mostly working the shore line from the water.

That's good your getting back into fishing.  If I were you i'd buy one of everything in every color.  A fisherman can never be too prepared.

As far as brands you'll get ton's of answers from everybody so here is mine with my favorite colors

Jigs - Jewel's Eakins Jigs - PB+J

Crankbaits - Norman - Shad

Plastics - *.com

Hooks - Owner or Gammakastu

Jerkbait (Slashbait) - Rapala X-rap

Just some basic lures there, but start out with that and see what happens.  I'm sure some more guys will pitch in with some really great info.  Good luck!!!! ;D

Thanks for all the help guys. Good to be back!

The top three lures that give me results in MA are senko worms(watermelon color), Rapalas and the Jitterbug.
