How to cast a baitcaster... not what you think
With the right combination of rod, reel and line you can cast 1/4 oz weights, if properly setup. What RW is eluding to is with your setup it will be difficult. Unfortunately one outfit may not cast all type of lures at a lower weight. This is why he suggested a spinning outfit.

Before Daylight Tackle
Prime topwater time IMO. The best thing is you will not be able to see the bait so pulling the trigger prematurely is negated. Just wait to feel the fish.

Falcon BuCoo
This is typical of Falcon Rods. Their Heavy Power act like most MH Powers. I have found this is the Cara and a bit less in the Lowrider Series.

Ledges
That makes sense. Although this would only account for a percentage of the ledges in a lake, it's a great point (no pun intended). You mentioned morning and evening, do you waste your time mid-morning to mid-afternoon? Do baitfish need to be present in the morning and the evening? Baitfish is key. I found some to produce all day when they are windswept pushing baitfish up on them. Ledges that mimic stairs 5 to 10 to 15 feet are goldmines and may produce all day long working different depths throughout the day. Table Rock and Kentucky Lake have these features.

Ledges
Ledges on points that transition from the main lake to a bay are highly productive regardless of cover, although cover is a bonus. These are a highway for the bass to travel and are especially productive in early morning and evening when they move in and out of the bays for feeding.

STX Purchase Experience : Update
I agree contact him so he can pay for the return shipping. If he does not respond the the reel is yours. I only purchase from EBay stores and have yet to have a problem.

Guided trip on the chunk with Muddy
Priceless, it would be a hard choice between Muddy and KVD, I think you chose well.

Tungsten Difference?
Increased sensitivity, I have found that I can read the bottom composition much better. IMO that is the biggest and only advantage. This is all I use.
- Happy Birthday LBH!!

What do you think of composition props?
I tried one and took it back. I beleive there was too much flex in the prop. RPM went way up and power way down. I would spend the money to repair your prop before I would buy a composite.

I can only cast far when I have heavy weights on my baitcaster, help
Not knowing which model reel you have I can only offer a general suggestion. There is a knob on the handle end of the reel which applies tension to the spool. This maybe too tight. For best performance a reel needs to be set up using a combination of brake setting and spool tensioning. If the spool tension is too tight what you described will happen.
