what lures, rods, reels would a beginner need to start a bass tacklebox? I have a baitcast reel and a few spinning reels. Have no idea about flipping or jigging. All of the fishing that I do is done with live bait (minnows, worms, crickets, etc.) I've been fishing practically all my life but I want to learn the sport of bass fishing. How do you successfully fish without a cork? Any help is appreciated.
