Newbie bait and tackle

[Roy]

Hi Martin

First of all what part of the country are you residing?

I can only give advice on colours if I know what dams you will be fishing?

But I can point you in the right direction:

Senkos 4" and 5 ": here I only fish one brand Gary Yamamoto, colours: Amber Laminate, Green Pumpkin Blue Flake, Green Pumpkin Candy, Watermelon Red Flake and June Bug.

Strech 40: made by Gary Yamamoto and flat out catches fish in Green Pumpkin Candy, Watermelon red flake and Junebug.

Flukes: two brands I can recommend Gary Yamamoto D Shad and Big Bite Baits Triple Tail colours: Amber Laminate, Green Pumpkin Candy, Watermelon Red Flake, Tilapia and Junebug

Creature Baits: Get your hands on some Big Bite Baits Fighting Frogs and Xcite Baits Raptor Craws, colours Candy Grass, Tilapia, Watermelon Red Flake, and June Bug

You will need 2/0,3/0 and 4/0 Gamakatsu EWG hooks

You will need Bullet sinkers Tungsten works best for me in 1/16, 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 oz

You will need some mojo sinkers

And either a Mojo tool its old school but still prefer it in clearer water to hold your mojo sinker in place or gummies these are rubber stopper that slide onto your line to keep your weight in place.

This should get you started they are all decent brands with proven fish catching ability.
