i havent found one good starter kit.

Which inline will you be buying? Easier to help when we know the gun you will be caring for.

I've got a Good Possibilities Bag, 3-Piece Brass Cleaning Rod and some Cleaning Brushes. I got a BPI/CVA New Frontier Cascade Mag. It was used but with some TLC and 1 replacement part ... Good as New.
You're right about Cleaning/Starter Kits ... No kit contains everything but I've seen 2 Kits (When Combined) that woud just about make a Good Start. Just want to get an Idea what Items would be needed.

Rubbing alcohol, WD-40, cleaning jag, handle, patches, gun oil
and maybe some pipe cleaners is all I use...

A big part of what chemicals etc you'll need will be based on what powder you use.  At any rate you'll want a stout range rod since most rifle mounted rods really don't hold up well to steady shooting and cleaning.  There are a variety available, some with t-handles, some segmented, wood, fiberglass, brass, aluminum etc.

For a variety of articles and viewpoints you could do a lot worse than to cruise on over to chuckhawks.com and look at the muzzleloader page.

Welcome to the sport.
