What Do The Numbers Mean On Certain Baits?
A Sammy dives to the same depth, irrespective of length. It's a floating top water. Now, I'm not 100% sure here, but the only Sammy 100 I have is wood. The rest are plastic, and they are 85, 95, 115. The larger the bait, the shorter the walk, and slower the retrieve. They all cast well.

If You Could Only Take 5 Rods
5 rods is about my limit in the kayak. Which five is different, depending on water I'm fishing, purpose of the trip, time of year, species I'm after, and many other things. Pick the five best for the job.

Weighting Crankbaits
Add weight to the line IN FRONT OF THE BAIT. See what that gets you.

Expensive Lures - Selection
It's a fear based reaction. They are afraid they aren't good enough. Better to put someone down than carry on about your own business. It's basic human instinct to declare yourself better than the rest. It's how we get the girl, lol.

Anchor Trolley: One Side Or Both?
Since my pulleys are all the way on the bow and the stern, I have no need for two. The two inch difference that would be there would mean about 3* difference in boat angle. It's not worth all the extra cordage hanging on the side of my boat. I have my trolley on the opposite side I generally land my fish on. That happens to port for me.

If you're hearing it, then it's probably nothing. Might even NOT be the gears. If you're feeling it, it should be addressed.

Feel Free Kayaks
I usually roll with five rods. There's eight holders in the boat, two flush mount behind me, three on the crate, and two tubes, and Zooka up front.

Hop, and shake it in between pauses and drops as you bring it back. Also, it's not a long distance rig. An average pitch is a good distance.

I buy Owners, and make my own for heavier weights. It's more expensive to make your own, if you use quality components. They are about a $1.75 each. The weights are pencil trolling weights, there's a heavy split ring to the hook - use your favorite, mine is Owner Wide Gap Plus or Rig'n Hook - a light split ring connects the weight to the big ring. Tie between the hook and the light ring, not on the split.

Actually, it works better than just about anything else in weeds. The weight drags the bait, and line straight down through cover, instead of draping it over the weeds. It's just about replaced Texas rigging in weeds. I'm even using it to punch through super heavy slop with 1 to 1.5 oz, weights. The key is to use SKINNY PENCIL WEIGHTS. You can also drop down what you normally use by 30-50%. A 1/2 oz. Jika penetrates most milfoil/coontail beds as well as a 3/4 to 1 oz. pegged Texas Rig.
