Best quality fishing backpack for the money
I've got one from Browning that i've been using as my canoe bag for 20+ years. It's really amazing that none of the straps have broken and the zippers all still work after all those years of abuse.

Biffle HardHead Jigheads
For me its more about speed than depth. If you want to go fast use the heavier one , if you want to go slow use as light a one as you can and still keep bottom contact.

Outboard?
The old reliable 9.9 hp should do nicely. You should be able to find a good used one for under $750.

Line type for Buzzbaits
I've always used mono on buzzbaits, but am slowly switching all topwater to braid because so many strikes come at the end of the cast. Don't see why braid wouldn't be a good choice for buzzbaits. Big single hook bait so you don't need stretch to keep them hooked up. Might have to be more patient on the hookset, but that's just timing. If you're successful with braid I wouldn't switch.

Any Crankbait Lovers Still Out There?
Chart/black back. Use to have a norman deep little n that was black w/blue flake that was a killer but haven't been able to find a replacement. nothing can put them in the boat faster than a crank bait on a fired up school.

Winter Jig Fishing
Caught this one super shallow last december. I'll have to try the january buzz bait bite but it is hard to pry the jig rod out of my hands this time of year.

Best dragon fly imitation i know of is the old zoom french fry fished weightless. Doesn't imitate the adults, but the emerging nymphs.

How would you fish a 50 degree temp swing?
Florida strain bass are famous for shutting down with falling water temp. But you fish when you can. I would start out looking shallow as cold water sinks.
