Pegging weight
I agree with Glenn about not using toothpicks as I've seen how they can damage line as the weight flops around. I prefer the peg-It's as I dont find the stops to be snug enough for my liking. Having said all this I'll add that there's been a couple times in the past where I didn't restock my toothpicks and just whittled a twig down in a pinch.

The Most Savage Strikes
Buzzbaits are the first bait I'll throw from about he 2nd week of april until Halloween although the bite doesn't usually kick in good til the middle of may. I use both single and double buzzbaits. My singles are mostly 3/8oz.Homemade (Do.have some1/4 but don't use them much) in black/red flake and chart./wht. My doubles are 1/2oz. Buckeye lures in the same 2 colors listed as well as white. Throwing them on 7' mh/f rod -6 speed reel and 40lb. Braid. And of course always a trailer hook.

Foavorite Toad Hook ?
5/0 mustad grip pin. I can get by with a 4/0 if needed. I don't prefer weighted hooks for toads.

Do you use fish attractant?
i use bio edge wands (chapstick style) in craw and frog. Before that Carolina lunker sauce and before that riverside real craw. Ive also.got a can of bang kicking around but I find it to bulky for my tackle box.

Alumacraft 1447
I have a 93 lowe 1032 and it has an h.i.n. no. Plate ("h" for hull as opposed to "v"for vehicle) under the weight/hp. Rating placard as well as on the outside of the transom on the opposite side. I would look at it again and be hesitant to buy if there are any signs that these were intentionally removed. It's unlikely the dfw would give you his info.

Proven baits that don't produce, perhaps.
Lizards and rattle traps/ lipless cranks.

Leaving jig trailers on in your trays
I'm guilty of this often. A.little rust on the shank can be cleaned up with some steel wool but any rust at all near the point or barb and I toss it.
