I would invest in some good quality rods and reels. I firmly believe in having good equipment. Then I would stock up on baits (Cutthroat Jigs, Netbait Trailers, Zoom lizards in a variety of colors, buzz baits, spinner baits, pop-r's, senko's, crank baits, chatterbaits and finesse worms. Then I would stock up on the lead weights, line and hooks. If I had anything left over, I would go enter a tournament and win some more money!
