It doesn't look like it comes with line, so you'll need line, swivels, and some lures + hooks and weights if you want to plunk bait. For trout I typically use powerbait eggs in orange and/or chartreuse (one of each kills the rainbows here in Oregon) or the floating trout worm in natural color. The floating worm will catch anything that swims. Get some baitholder hooks in size 10 or so. I use a carolina rig for plunking bait, picrelated, and the powerbait artificial baits float. This rig floats your bait right above the bottom so the fish can see it when they are cruising around. You'll want a selection of bullet weights and some beads, I carry everything from 1/4 oz to 3/4 oz weights for when I need to cast a mile. Plunking bait is nice when you just want to relax by the lake and drink some beer. Spinner fishing is more active and very well suited for fishing in streams. I like both.
For spinners you really can't go wrong with panther martins, or mepps, or any one of the big brands. They all catch fish, and you'll want an assortment of sizes and colors. Keep in mind that your rod is rated up to 3/4 oz of weight, but you'll probably want spinners in the 1/8 to 1/2 oz size for trout. Get a few different colors and sizes, as many as you can afford within your budget. For mainline I prefer braid and I spool my trout rods with 10# or 15# braid, and use lighter 6# or 8# mono for leader. Other than that you just need a pair of needlenose pliers or hemostats for removing hooks and a 12 pack of beer and you're ready to go. I don't fish for bass so if you want bass advice you'll need to get it from someone else. Good luck!
