I've just recently got into fishing mostly have bass and trout in my area. Is my bait and lures good? Is there anything else I should buy?

Went fishing yesterday and the bass were too small for my regular crank baits, and realized I didn’t have a lot of smaller sized ones even for panfishing. Cue a Walmart trip today and a handful of delightfully cheap lures from a brand I’ve fished from forever. What are y’all’s thoughts? Have y’all used these before for either bass or panfish? The singular one I had yesterday zipped around in the water like a little minnow, which was pleasing to myself and the fish who kept after it. But I’m curious about everyone else’s experience

Anyone have any advice for catching big smallies or baits for catching them? I’m kinda new to bass fishing and most of the bass i catch are luck. Anyone have some baits or tactics?

I live in southeast Michigan and never have any luck with fake bait. Have been spending lots of money lately in live bait and would only like to use it every once in a while rather then being forced into it. What kind of fake baits do you guys have luck with for Bass, walleye, catfish? Thanks in advance

Anyone have any recommendations for a low profile baitcasting reel, high gear ratio, around or under $75? I know shimano/lews/13 fishing/abu Garcia have options, but I’m thinking specific reels
