One thing I forgot to mention is get or make yourself a stripping basket. Line control is one of the most difficult things to master and not something that spin fisherman have to learn to deal with. I know there are different schools of thought about the need for a basket but until you master the basics a basket is essential particularly if you fish rocky areas. I have tried ,bought and made many different ones over the years but a tupperware or rubbermaid container attached to your waist with a bungy cord is all you really need.
