Frog Fishing - Would Flouro be ...
Smart.

I am actually thinking about buying a Shimano reel.
That is your man.

Let's Talk About Crank Bait Rods...
Same here

Favorite Baitcaster
My preferences fluctuate, this month. TD-Z R+103HL Pixy 2004 Super Tunned.
-
Revo STX or Advantage HSTA?
That is a tough call, you will go well with either.
-
Rod socks,sleeves or whatever you call them
With you 100%. I havent seen the Cabelas's socks but all my rods have this one color coded. http://www.***.com/descpageJACKETS-SJC.html

Power Pro or Sufix ?
I'm also a Sufix over PP that I used for years, cant wait to put my hands on the Samurai

Frog Rod and Reel Combination
I didn't care much for the GD DX 704 and I think the tip is way to stiff to cast frogs and it is way too heavy, I sold mine. Back to a Rogue 706, lighter and easier.

A.C. Cole Jointed Wood Swimbait Used In The Midwest
Very nice looking lure...and fish. Similar to the Jackall Go-Don but with a lip, I guess it floats.
-
SPRO Lures--Any Good?
BBZ is one of my favorites.
-
Heavy Crankin
The same that I would use for small swimbaits, P-Line Evolution 20 lbs or CXX in 17 lbs, same diameter.
-
Nylon mono/copolymer backing for fluorocarbon?
I do the same too.
-
Daiwa Baitcasters
No really, Team Daiwa Z is a serie itself( like Team Daiwa X, TD-X in another ) with differents models, TD-Z 105h, TD-Z-103M and so on. Zillion is Team Daiwa Zillion. You are right about the case of the Advantage

Mono Line Poundage & Brand For Swimbait Use
For up to 3 oz I use 20 lbs and above that 25 lbs., CXX was my line of choice until Evolution came out, this one handle better, smaller diameter and as strong as CXX. I like braid a lot but not for swimbaits. I use a tunned Cardiff 301 for my heaviest lure. Your Okuma H should be fine as an all around SB rod, be aware the weight limit is 5. oz. I have the 7.6 MH for the smaller lures and up to 2 oz, above that the tip is too soft to unload properly. Best luck with them.

Trailor Hooks on Frogs
Almost always a 1/0 trailer hook on the Sizmic Pop'N Toad

Looking for a Nice reel.
They are on sale, I just got another one. http://www.***.com/descpageRLSSHIMANO-SSMGFA.html

Lightest High-speed baitcast reel
The Summit is 2 oz heavier than that. Plueger doesn't make any baitcaster weighting less than 7.5 oz http://www.pfluegerfishing.com/products/products.php?p=2
-
New Diawa more expensive than Steez, just in time
I feel the same way.
-
does mono have any advantages over fluoro...
You are correct, also sinks, as pointed.
-
swimbait setup
There is not baby Bluegill. You have the Ultimate and the Bluegill Series, both close to 2 oz and the Baby Bass series that weights 1.3 oz. It is a good idea keep your lures within the rod's weight limits.

Update on St. Croix customer service
WHAT ? So I'm an idiot to take mine to them. Have you really used the Xpeditor ?
-
Sufix Siege Camo
I don't think that you need to worry about line visibility.
-
Revo Premier
Very good report. I was playing with one at BPS and I can feel the lack of the 4 knobs bearings....compare with the STX, obvious.
-
Loomis 803 or 804
Yoy never say what model you were looking at. The big difference between them is the XF action of the BCR 803. This is what make it ideal for smaller jigs and worms. One of my favorite.

New vs Old avids, number of guides?
Are day in the market already? I can't find one, other than the initial prototypes.
