$50.00 worth of slider worms. Sad thing is I already have double that. Wait I guess I would have to spend some of the money on slider heads too.

10 bags of 4" senkos blackw/lg blue flek

1/ Zara Spook $5
1/ Sugoi Splash $ 12
1/ Terminator spinnerbait $7
2/ bags 5" senkos(021) $12
1/ bandit 100 (baby bass) $4
1/ Bag GYCB hula grubs(Black/Blu) To be used as jig trailer and hula grubn $6
1/Hi-Tek Jig 3/8(blk/blu) $4

I really thought about a Sammy over the Spook but with a budget you gotta go with the classic and the Splash is one of my all time favorites.Terminator spinnerbaits have served me well and I've never broken one. Gotta have the Senkos. The grubs would serve the dual purpose of Jig trailer and Hula grub. The Hi-Tek jig is locally made(steve at NBS) and has worked well for me this years.

$50 worth of green 3 1/2" BPS tubes. They work anywhere, anytime, in all different conditions. Can't say that about too many baits. Flip 'em for green fish in 2 feet, or drag 'em for brown fish in 30 feet.

C'ya on the water,

I fish with a guy down here and that's all he uses. He catches fish! Oh, add the shot of Jacks or BANG garlic scent and he's on the fish.

EW, Hi-Tek is a locally made jig by Steve Nishumara(sp) from Northern Bass Supply. It always lands upright and doesnt role over as much as some. As for the cost it sells for $3.19 so for cost sake I rounded up and looking in the BPS catalog Jig prices are from $ 1.79 to $ 4.99.
