Depends on what you have. If I had a choice I would split it 50/50 between power and finesse.
Power - Spinnerbaits, Crankbaits, Jerkbaits
Finesse - Bullet weights, drop shot weights, good quality (Seaguar Invizx) FC line, Drop shot lures (Dream Shot, Z Drop, Roboworm)

Depends on what you have.
Exactly and what techniques do you enjoy doing? I'd put the money towards restocking the essentials. If you fish plastics a lot get weights, hooks and plastics.. If you crankbait fish a lot get cranks. If you Jig fish a lot stock up on jigs and trailers, etc etc.. Whatever you are low on make sure you restock those supplies.
Line is also another good thing to have plenty of.

I have plenty of line . I have quite a few lipless cranks , few spinnerbaits ,no more jigs, a few plastics. My stock in baits went down a lot from taking family members fishing and always getting hung up.

$80 can go a long ways at BPS, especially at the Spring Classic. Sounds like jigs are a need, plastics (you can experiment with brands) and perhaps terminal tackle -- sinkers, hooks, etc.
Definitely go in with a plan!

That's why I was looking for suggestions. So many choices and I'm going to try senkos this year. I have a few small lakes full of 3-5lbers.

Are all of these items available at Bass Pro?Consider our sponsors:
MegaStrike: MegaStrike Attractant, StrikeBack Spinnerbait, Cavitron Buzzbait, ShakE2, Evolution Jig and MegaBug
Rage Tail: Take your choice, I like them all. Maybe the new Menace to start with
NorthStar: The Original Swim Jig
Seibert Outdoors: Storm Series Jig
Smithwick: Rattlin' Rogue
SureLife: Catch & Release
If you're limited to BPS, I'd go for stuff that you normally wouldn't buy, and would splurge on stuff that you normally wouldn't consider because of price.
$80 isn't enough to buy a combo that I would recommend so I would buy some swimbaits, Lucky Crafts, real Senkos, or baits that I would otherwise not try due to their price.

My last BPS order included some Scumfrogs, Rage Anacondas, Rage Thumpers, Slug-Os, bullet weights, worm hooks, etc. Stuff like that, it really depends on what you need to add to your "angling arsenal"...

I don't need a combo. I'm buying a reel and I already have a rod. And I have around $85 for lures and tackle.Are all of these items available at Bass Pro?
