Welcome to the forum.

[Ramlatus]

Thank You. I hope fit in here.

I have not really been fishing muchsince I was a kid. My soon-to-be stepson loves fishing and so for mybirthday I asked for fishing gear so we could go fishing together. Sofor my birthday I got a rod and a couple of reels, as well as avariety of lures, bobbers, hooks, and such. I know I still need somethings, but I am having trouble finding out exactly what I need. So Iam asking those more experienced than myself.


Goal: General purpose freshwatermultispecies tackle. This is what I am thinking.


Hooks:
Octopus Hooks Sizes – 10, 8,6, 4, 2, 1/0, 2/0, 4/0 (I went with oct hooks because I don't want tohave set the hook as I still have to with my lures and I feel I wouldtry reflexively with circle hooks)
Trebel Hooks – Unsure whatsizes I need.
Worm Hooks – 2/0, 4/0. Unsurewhat other sizes I need.
Worm Hooks EWG – 2/0, 4/0.Unsure what other sizes I need.


Weights:
Bullet Weights: Unsure whatweights I need
Barrel (Egg) Weights: Unsurewhat weights I need
Split Shot Weights (Removable):Unsure what weights I need


Barrel Swivels: I have a pack of size10. Unsure if I need more and of what size.


Plug Lures: Unsure what is small,medium, or large sizes are. I have spent more time than is reasonabletrying to learn how their size is measured. Some seem to do it byweight and others by length.
Crankbaits: small, medium, large
Jerkbaits: small, medium, large
Pop-Rs: small, medium, large
Jitterbugs (I assume it is inthe surpace plugs category): small, medium, large


Spoons: small, medium, large (Unsurewhat is small, medium, or large sizes are.)


Spinners: small, medium, large (Unsurewhat is small, medium, or large sizes are.)


Spinerbaits: small, medium, large(Unsure what is small, medium, or large sizes are.)


Buzzbaits: small, medium, large (Unsurewhat is small, medium, or large sizes are.)


Jigs (the ones with the weighted headsand rubber hair) : small, medium, large. Side question – two of myjigs have rattle things attached to them. Are they still jigs orsomething else I don't know about?


Frogs: small, large (Unsure what issmall or large sizes are.) the 2 I have have a rubber body that is 21/2 inches long.


Soft Plastics: Couple bags of Senkos,not sure what else is good to carry. I know I don't want to carrymore than a dozen or so bags. Also how small can I go with these andhow small is to small?


Am I missing something important?
Is there something on my list that Idon't really need?


Thanks you all for your help andadvice.
