Which Action Is Best?
I have a 6'9" MHXF Carbonlite and it would be good for everything except the squarebills. I like a slower action for them.

Smartcraft Gauge
Have you tried disconnecting the battery to reset it? I have never had this issue with mine.

Looking For One Lure
I would carry a shaky head spinning rig with watermelon or green pumpkin worms. They work anywhere.

What Color Braided Line Do You Use?
I use yellow with a leader for everything except moving baits. My old eyes don't see the green move as well as they used to.

I was surprised the new Cumaras were not in it.

What's The Lowest Grade Shimano Spinning Reel You Would Buy
I have some Sedonas that have served me well.

Carolina Rig
I use 30lb PP main line with a flouro leader. I use carolina keepers instead of the swivel because I think you get better feel of the bait. You can use any plastics or even square bill crankbaits. I use a 7'1" MHF rod. If you want to really have some fun tie on a 1/0 EWG and a 4" lizard. It's not a big bass bait but you'll catch some good numbers. I mainly fish them on rocky points and deep brush piles.

Most Versatile Jig/worm Line Setup?
I use braid to FC for everything except top water and crank baits..

Braided Line, How Long Before You Change It Out?
Braid is the cheapest line you can use when you consider how long it lasts. I have some Power Pro on a spinning rod that is 6 years old. If it ever does start getting frayed and easy to break you can take it off the spool and put it back on backwards and get another year or 2.

Terminator Crappie Umbrella Rig
Is it made for catching crappie or is it just the crappie color Terminator rig?

Best Soft Plastic Brand?
I use a lot of brands but I use Zoom more than anything else.

Battle Of The $130 Baitcasters
I would find a NIB Citica E on Ebay over everything you mentioned. You can find them less than $100 new.

The CB's are great for killing varmints quietly.

New Cumara A Casting Rod - Initial And On-The-Water Reviews - Updated
Thanks for the review. I can't wait to hear how it performs. I have added one to my TW cart twice but haven't pulled the trigger waiting for a review.

What Soft Plastics Are You Throwing On A Baitcaster?
Everything except weightless flukes.

St. Croix Avid 68Mxf Casting
x2 They are very sensitive and durable rods.

Trolling Motor Speed Control
Sorry for the delay. I got the PWM wired and mounted and it seems to work well. I have not had a chance to use it in the water yet. I found a small oil leak in the seal below the water pump when i took it out of the water to install the PWM. I have the foot laying in the shop floor now waiting on my seal from iBoats.

Payout Calculation
The percentages we use are 46-25-15-10-2-2. With 50 boats 5th and 6th get their $100 entry fee back. It's easier to just pay 1 in 3 or 1 in 5 places.

De Railed By An Extreme Today
The own a 68mxf and it's the best of the 2 for what you need. The new grips take some getting used to though. One thing to note, the baits you listed are all action baits and don't need as much sensitivity as a jig or shakey head IMO. I would save a few bucks and get the Avid 68mxf instead. You can get 2 Avids for what an Extreme costs.

St Croix Ltbs 610 Mlxf
IMO it's too light to get a good hook set. That's a nice dropshot rod but is too flimsy to handle flukes and grubs. I would go for the LTB 68MXF.
-
New Shimano Cumara You Say?
It'll look great with my Scorpion XT 1000 on it.

Was it caught in the sink or the dishwasher?

Who Caught A Pb This Year?
Does it have to be alive because I found a 13.2lber floating belly up this summer?
-
St. Croix Ltbc70Mhxf/10
x2 It does make a great rod for scroungers and fish head spins. I wouldn't go above 1/2 oz jigs or SB's.
