I have $50, I fish in east texas for largemouth and spotted bass. I want to try some new stuff, tell me what you think I need.

comment ONE thing I should get

[DogBone_384]

Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait.  I've never fished Texas, so color choice and diving depth is up to you...

 

Best of luck!

I'll go with the hottest lure for me right now if we are talking strictly lures. Booyah Covert Double Indiana spinnerbait. Color is up to you, I fish the white one. I seriously have thrown that bait like 85% of the time my last several times out. It's a fish catcher for me. Fish it slow, a low gear ratio helps.

Rapala RipStop 09.  Awesome action!

Buy something that you don't already have, for a technique that you've never tried.

Well if I had $50 to spend on something, I’d buy whatever I wanted. Not what someone else wanted. Fish with what you have and treat yourself to a victory dinner after a good trip. Good luck.

A pack of shakey heads ?

Assorted different colors and weights of mega bass dark sleepers. I fished a 2 day tournament in east Texas on Fork and they were the only trick to get us paid enough for the trip.

That’s something that I know I should be throwing. I have one pack for larger sized worms. 
 

maybe when I can stop throwing spinnerbaits I’ll take the time to learn the good old jig head worm

Get yourself a variety of Siebert jigs. He'll even make recommendations as to ones that would be best for how/where you fish. You have options beyond color and weight.  You can't match the quality of his jigs with any mass produced ones. Check it out.

I fish East Texas, shakey head, drop shot, & deep diving crankbaits.

A variety of skirted jigs is safe and covers the water column. I’m in west Texas and swim jigs/arkie style that you fish just about any way you want work well. Especially in dirty water. I’ve never had much success with football unless losing it counts.

So you need two things to do what I'm suggesting. But if you have a decent spinning combo, you should take $10 of that and:

1. get a zman chatterbait micro, either black or chartreuse

2. little box of bass pro split tail 3" stick-o in Summergill.

3. Rig it with fins vertical and get rid of the skirt.

4. Enjoy catching largemouth.
