Plastics
4 inch senko- Green, smoke.
Hula grub- Brown, Green
Powerworm- Brown, Green.
Roboworm- Brown Green.
Natural colors are always a great bet. Brighter colors seem to work better for stained water and smallmouths.
Hooks
size 2/0 Gamakatsu ewg offset hooks
size 1 Gamkatsu Octopus hooks
Weights
Some 1/16 and 1/8 oz bullet weights.
Some 1/8 and 1/4 oz spilt shots
The above items will catch fish in most situations. Learn to fish the texas rig, ( bullet weight, ewg hook, and a plastic) Drop shot, ( robo worm or senko, Octopus hook, and split shot sinker) and weightless is always great in shallow water ( Plastic and ewg hook) Do an internet search for these rigs and you should fine the info to put them together.
Topwater

Fish these in calm situation with low light. Early morning or sunset.
Spinnerbaits
Strike king and booyah both make great spinnerbaits.
I like the spinnerbait in terrible weather. Wind, rain, clouds. Fishem slow or fast. Sometimes one is better than the other
Crankbaits can also be a good bet. I've seemed to have the best luck with these in the early season ( prespawn). Reel the lure to the max depth that pause for a couple seconds. If you don't get bit reel some more. Most bites happen when you pause.
The main thing with bass fishing is to fish where the fish are. Rocks, weedbeds, submerged trees, and points.
Good luck man.
