One thing to consider starting out is use the reels you have and mark your hi-vis line with a marker. One at 75ft and one at 125, or whatever you think it best. I hardly ever break off and those marks will stay all season. Then you can adjust from there. Also, be careful or you will end up with a ridiculous number of baits. Its an addiction. lol. I would say start with some bandit 300's in pink, black, chart shad, also some #7 flicker shad in purple tiger, red tiger, blue tiger and chart pearl. Plenty of other options on baits, but just trying to suggest some baits that me and my friends have had a lot of success on. On the lakes I have ran cranks those baits would get you into fish. Enjoy
