cata makes another good point... Line size! It's very important when bass fishing. You want to go with the lowest line test you can get away with for the size bass your catching. Make sure you learn to set your drag properly for your new rig. If you use 12lb test line and are using crank baits they won't dive as deep if you use 8lb test. You can haul in a 10lb bass on 8lb test easy if you have your drag set properly and you don't bully the fish to the bank, Most of the excitiment when bass fishing is hooking a lunker on smaller test line and medium rod and having to play that fish and wear him down without loosing him.
You are going to enjoy Bass fishing, to me it's the most exciting sport fish to catch.
