Beginning Bass Fishing Lures...well, I started with Crappie Jigs to be honest, moved up to Road Runners, Beetle Spins, etc.

If I was giving my kid a beginner's bass fishing kit I'd include these five things:

A package of plastic berkley 7 inch power worms, with worm hooks and bullet weights.

A Rapala silver and black minnow crankbait.

A package of beetle spins.

A live bait package-- weight, hooks with leaders, swivels, and bobbers.

And a top water bait, maybe a hula popper.

I'd like to put a real spinner bait on there, or an old school rooster tail, but if I have to pick five things only, that's my beginning five.

It gives them something for everything.
