I’m looking to put together a solid bass fishing kit but not sure what essentials I need to include. I’ve got the basics like a rod and reel, but I’m wondering what specific lures, baits, and gear are must-haves for bass fishing. Should I focus more on soft plastics, crankbaits, or topwater lures? And how much do I need to adjust my kit for different seasons or water conditions? I also want to know if it’s worth investing in a tackle box with specific compartments for organization, or if that’s overkill.
Any advice?
