Smallmouth???... or have you been able to determine any species preferences? oe

I feel as you've restricted your parameters a little. Let's expand "manufactures who produce bass baits" to manufactures who produce bass baits and walleye, crappie, trout, catfish and salt water species baits... and distribute their products world wide. Soft baits companies I'm impressed with are Berkley and Kalins. oe

Faded grey as long as I can see it... white when it becomes necessary. Using the thinnest diameter I can get away with is usually more important to me than color. oe

Abu C series... oe

Was there concern with the Curado I outside brake dial placement? oe

Familiarity increases sensitivity. Choose a rod that loads well with the weights you've chosen, protects the line you will use and controls the fish you expect to catch. After those considerations, familiarize yourself with how every little leaf, rock, twig and lure feel as you use that rod. Practice, practice, practice... oe

I only carry the ones I remember... lately it seems my selection is dwindling. oe

Appropriate credit appreciated oe

I hope you're prepared to be quoted... or plagiarized. oe

yes oe

OP, your concern for the welfare of the fish is admirable. Perhaps you should consider fishing barbless and reduce the stress for both the bass and yourself. oe
