Hit up Last Chance Bait and Tackle in Hemet. The have all the answers you need. Start with 6-8lb test line on a 61/2 to 7 foot mediun to medium heay rod and tie on a Senko drop-shot rig. Done. The guys at the store will show you how to rig it up. Of course it could take years to learn to be good at Bassing, but this one setup will get you started.

Yeah man as mentioned already, drop shotting is a great way to catch bass. Pretty easy to rig and simple to use. Just twitch it every now and then during your retrieve. Catches you fish in every lake.



BTW....drop shotting works well for trout too
