As for tackle (baits & lures) that's a different story in my opinion, at first it may seem intimidating, like "what lures should I buy", the thing is, its more a matter of knowing what you're going to fish for, aswell as knowning which lure colors work best. After you've learnt that & know which lures & lure colors do best, you'll feel more like a kid in a candy store in no time. Personally I like to categorize baits into 2 categories, natural food baits & then enticer baits. Natural baits are usually brown, green, or black colored worms, flies, mouse baits, etc its more of a staple to the fish than them instinctly stricking the bait I find. Then theres baits like topwater buzz baits, poppers, & spinnerbaits that make the fish go nuts, colors like florescent pink, chartreuse & blood red, bright pearl white baits that are specifically made to make a commotion in the water & get scores of fish to attack it.
And if you're simply going to fish for sunfish & small bass with the kids, all they need is some worms or a small piece of berkley's trout worm texas rigged under a float with #12 gamakatsu octopus hook. If you plan on fishing for bigger bass & pike, then you may want to start looking at inline spinners (Mepps & Panther Martin spiners), or try using stick baits (senkos), theres also topwater baits aswell like poppers or buzz baits which are a load of fun !!

Catches fish too! Although that might be all Openfire's touch!

For Lures, go to Openfire's secret tackle shop.....Dollarama.....great spinners and topwater for a buck a piece..loose one, ****it!, tie on another and cast away! DISPOSABLE LURES!!!

That's technically Toober's secret... I found out about the Dollarama spinners through him. Good stuff though, and ya can't beat the price!

For rods and reel, all I can say don't cheap out, $100 combo would be the min. It would save you less hassles in the long run.
JMHO,

Really! What size walleye do you think it was? Do you have any pics?Caught my first ever walleye on a dollar store lure. They actually have some pretty cool baits, good for just getting started for sure.

Really i've heard good things about St. John. by the sounds of it, it was a nice catch!It was a green fat crankbait, was trolling in Lake St. John, was about 3lbs or so, no pics though as it was actually my first time back in a boat, and didn't expect to get anything. I now carry 3 cameras in the boat. The lure company it was made by was MAKO.
