Can someone make me a simple shopping list for the items I need to make these rigs?

Texas rigs I use 1/8 oz lead weight and 3/0 ewg hook almost exclusively. Sometimes I'll use a 1/16 oz weight or go weightless.
Carolina, if I even use them, 3/0 ewg hook, leader line (I use whatever mono I have around, 12lb-17lb), swivel (i forget what size) and glass bead. Don't use them very much for bass at all down here.

I fish the Louisiana marsh and use a Carolina rig quite often. Most of the methods previously mentioned work well, but I would suggest that you check out the Carolina Keeper manufactured by Woo Daves. You can find them at Bass Pro and if you don't like using a swivel or feel the need to use the Flourocarbon leader, they make tying a Carolina much faster. I have also found that you can use a clip on float and just above the egg sinker if you are have a limited number of rods and reels.
