If you buy from an outfit such as Melton International they will be more than happy to help with rigging. Good old fashion libraries are a great source to look for information also;you can take the book home and learn from the info. and illustrations as you learn.Many tackle suppliers are also savvy about what lures and colors work best in certain areas.Your repeat business correlates with your success.
