[#008000]The choice of baits for trout and bluegill are many and varied. Possibly the best all around natural bait for both species is the common worm or night crawler - available almost anywhere; from your garden to any fishing tackle store. You can also choose from the many many plastic baits that are available - grubs, worms, tubes in small to medium sizes.[/#008000]

[#008000]Hook sizes for both fish will generally be of the small variety - sizes 6 to 16 would be good to start with. If you have a store in your locale, they could guide you with your selections and provide assistance with matching the hook with the bait you've chosen (they would also be able to recommend the most effective bait for the body of water you plan to fish at).[/#008000]

[#008000]Although changing line is fairly easy to do, i would recommend that you visit a tackle shop (a store that specializes in fishing tackle) and have them change out your line the first time or two. They will do this for just the cost of the line (which should only be a couple of bucks). If you have a Cabellas or a Sportsman's Warehouse in your vicinity, they can and will do that for you.
