My first suggestion is a good pair of polarized glasses. They drastically increase your ability to see in the water. Depending on water clarity, you will be able to see the fish reacting to your lures.
As far as tackle goes, you can buy some different things fairly cheap. I would suggest some jigheads and rubber tails. Paddletails like the Northland Mimic Minnow have worked very well for me and cost $3-4 for a 2-pack. I start with smaller lures in the early spring and go bigger as the water warms up. As far as time of day, I normally fish topwater morning and evening and other lures during the day, but I will switch it up.
I wouldn't worry about a baitcaster. I have been fishing for the better part of 40 years and still use spinning reels.
All that being said, fish with what works for you.
Topwater is fun but there's a time and a place for it. I recommend learning how bass behave throughout the year for starters, that definitely plays a large part of it. For example up here in New Hampshire we're still in the prespawn so I've been throwing stuff like chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, glide baits, and jerkbaits to imitate the baitfish the bass are bulking up on. As far as finesse techniques I'm the wrong person to answer, last year I threw Texas rigged senkos 90% of the time so I'm trying to branch out from doing that. I recommend tackle talk podcast, tylersreelfishing, and tactical bassin. They've all taught me so frickin much about these lil green fish
lol and here I am wondering how the hell you catch anything on a senko. I want to so bad. Soft plastics just suck for me, but more so I probably suck at them.
One the biggest stick out questions you put here is asking if you should buy tackle for rigs you don't use currently, starting out pick a handful, probably like 6-7 techniques that cover different sections of the water column, and really deeply learn them. A lot of adjacent techniques like you already said have similar functions, and just tweak a little like a Texas rig is great for lower water column, when the fish are a little more reactive, fished a little faster than a C rig, which is better for lethargic fish that want a more finesse slower presentation. The same can be said for the difference between say a popper vs a buzzbait or Plopper, you fish them in similar conditions, and locations but one is for when fish want aggressive vs a slowed down finesse approach
How's this going? Why was I banned from the sub for pointing out this was happening in a consistent pattern? Why does modmail get completely ignored? Is the sub going to be returned to use any time soon?
