I am looking for a single source for basic lure uses, technic and rigging. Nothing to in depth, just basics.

Welcome!  You are definitely in the right place if you're new to bass fishing.  Check the articles section out, I'm sure you'll find what you're wanting to know.  For starters, check this out: http://www.bassresource.com/beginner/bass_basics.html

Happy New Year, Try.

To understand your query, you are searching for one site that can give you information on how to rig and then the best techniques to use for each type of bait or presentation.

Easy question - no real answer.

The Forum's Fishing Articles and Tacklebox has some great information pertaining to specific baits and presentations.

If you like to read, try finding some of these books which give you lots of help on the types of baits; when to use them; how to rig them; and when to use them.

But beware. Not all baits are discussed nor are all other details given:

Baits for Bass from B.A.S.S. - which may be your best selection - published by B.A.S.S. Publications

Bass Wisdom by Homer Circle

I would suggest Baits for Bass and Bass Wisdom as your best selections.

Remember, there are no "set ways" to fish any bait. You fish it as you believe is appropriate for your conditions and seasons.

Try to find the Baits for Bass book from B.A.S.S. as it will give you a lot of information in an inexpensive format for just about all baits we throw today.

Good luck.
