I'm not new to fishing but recently have gotten a little more hooked on it.  Just wondering as far as lures and stuff go what I should stock up on.  I mostly use plastics for now but I've been stocking up on cranks,  rattletraps, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits.  The real goal is to eventually start taking a crack at some tournaments with a few buddies I know that have boats.  They are my resident rod and reel experts and fish tourneys regularly so no advice is needed there but as far as what to stock or a general idea on lures and baits would be appreciated.  I fish in NE OK if that may have any influence on things and I know no two answers will be alike but just wanting to get a good feel for the direction I should head so I don't go out and buy $500 worth of stuff I'll never use.

Hey njbasser has pretty much hit the nail on the head as far as a good basic starter collection of bass catchers.  I would add Terminator T-1 spinnerbaits to that list.

Good luck.

Don't forget some dropshot stuff like XPS quiver minnows and Luck E stike razor worms. And some deep cranks.

Your resident rod/reel guys would be a better source of what is working in your area...

Don't forget to purchase some Rage Tail plastics.

Thanks for the input guys.  I'm working on trading my quad for a bass boat right now and if I do it'll open up the possibility of a learning curve boost.  I'll look into the baits recommended.  Seems like I've been on the right track.  I'm gonna keep looking up info on rigs and technique and stuff.  Never can learn too much.
