I just started less than two weeks ago but I have gone out almost every day… I have caught 7 fish so far. A very small panfish (on hook & bobber w/ a minnow) and 6 bass (all on wacky rigs). I want to really be able to get Saugeye and Rainbow Trout but I have been unsuccessful so far. What are some other things I need to add to my arsenal. I have a Bass Pro Tourney Special 7” Med-Heavy Spinning combo as my rod/reel.

Looks good buddy. Maybe throw a spoon or two in there, a few styles of weights for Texas or Carolina or even bobber action. Some pop and chex mix and get back out there. Tight lines, champ
For trout get some size 8 octopus hooks and the neon trout magnet kit. Buy red worms for the octopus hooks when you go out for trout.
You are just starting out. You have an ok start to your gear. Spend time learning what you like and don’t like out of what you have already bought. At the end of summer you will have so much more knowledge about how you like to fish. This will keep you from wasting money.
honestly you got a lot already and are clearly seeing results ! you could try some inline spinnerbaits like rooster tails or panther martins? maybe a spoon like kastmasters ?
