Jerkbait / Topwater Combo Rod
I have a split grip st Croix premier 6'6" M action. Not fond of the split grip on that short of rod. Was going to get a full grip version of the same Rod. Worth it to move to an avid? I like how the premier M is rated up to 3/4 ounce to handle the bigger walk the dog type baits.

Megabass Vision 110 Jerkbaits. What Colors To Start With?
Hello, I am wanting to try these baits out finally. Obviously I wish I could load a 3700 box with them but can't. I think my wife would explode. But anyways if you had to pick say 2 or 3 colors to start with. What would they be? I figure a color for sunny days and another for clouds? Is that the right train of thought? Was thing a pro blue and a sexy French pearl to build upon. I'm sure I'll want more lol.

Favorite Squarbill/ Medium Depth Crankbait Rod?
I also have an e6x 845 I use for squarebills and and cranks. I actually really like the Rod a lot. Light weight and good action. It was what got me to switch more Rods over to Loomis. That being said I would love to have a dedicated squarebill Rod. probably a 6'6" St Croix premier moderate action.

I've sold all my lews and abus and moved to Shimano. I held out for a long time. I feel like everyone has Shimano around here. I wanted something different. Tried a Shimano and the rest was history. I would put lews a close second. Have 4 curado i's and 2 chronarch ci4's.

Which Route Do I Go?
I use a 6'6" medium action rods for jerkbaits and topwaters. I just switch the reels out. One with fluro other with mono. I through my traps and other cranks including squarebills on a 7'0" MH mod action crankbait Rod.

Best All Around Gear Ratio
If the technique calls for slack line like Texas rigs or jigs I will use a 7 speed. Also use a 7 speed on a topwaters frog. Everything else I use a 6 speed. I don't deep crank yet (no boat) but will get a 5 speed for that.

E6X Reviews
I have 3 e6x rods. The mh cranking Rod which is great. Also have a 843 MBR I throw spinnerbaits, swim jigs and keitechs on. Just picked up a 6'8" spinning Rod to skip docks and swing grubs with. Haven't had a chance to spool it yet. They are great rods. Lightweight and balance well.

Flipping/pitching/punching Rod (Under $150)
I have owned two ducketts. One a ghost and another a micro magic pro. Both outstanding rods. Kicking myself for selling but wanted to try an NRX and needed the funds for that. The ducketts were both high quality rods with no issues.

Braid Users: Direct Tie Or Use Fluro Leader
I sold my heavy pitching stick that I used 20 pound fluro on with the intent of using up a H action tatula frog Rod for double duty. I have 50 pound braid that obviously I direct tie my frog or Alabama rig. I also want to use this Rod for flipping and pitching as well as football jigs. I didn't frog enough or flip enough to have two dedicated rods. So moved down to one. Do you tie a leader or just direct tie? Was thinking of using the rest of my 20 pound fluro spool to use as a leader.
