Advice On Ranger
Ranger stopped using wood in the late 80s. 91 should be all fiberglass. That being said even fiberglass transoms go bad

Getting A Crank Bait
It's more about how you fish the bait than what bait. If you can hit cover then you don't need rattles. The deflections cause more strikes imo. That being said I like the strike king 1.5s for the money. Spro little johns for their build quality and paint jobs, and hooks. The rick clunns can be killer too. Havnt used the lucky crafts because ive got a lot of spro.

Shallow Spinning Spool?
Just so you can fill less line. Rather than having to back a 2500-3000 sized reel with braid you can just go straight fluoro and not spool on 150yd of 6lb test.

Caught First Bass On Jig - Big Hurdle Crossed
That 735c is the swiss army knife of my rod arsenal. Awesome for jigs , frogs, and chatterbaits. Little bit stiff for spinnerbaits but still decent. It's getting a little bit late for frogs so I would spool that reel up with 15lb fluoro for flipping. You can get away with braid but I have 0 confidence in flipping braid. I always think they see the line. As the other guys can prove on this forum it, braid doesnt matter.

Sticky Thumb Release
My thought is that it might have some grit inside of the thumb bar. All of my abus have came over greased and I beat the hell out of this reel. Im 90% sure there must be some build up inside. Going to clean it out and give it a shot. If that doesnt work i'll buy a replacement. http://www.hedgehog-studio.co.jp/product/1285

Transporting 1 Piece Rods
Take the reels off and put them in the passenger seat. Put some sort of rod glove on them and strap them together with pipe cleaner or velcro cable ties. I havnt found a car this doesnt work in. Maybe a really small sports car wont work but I have seen it work in mustangs and 2 door bmws.

Sticky Thumb Release
I have a revo stc gen 3 with a very sticky release button. Most of the time it takes more effort than normal to push the release, it just feels like it is grinding on something. I have taken the reel apart to clean it but I cannot seem to get the thumb bar to work like it did out of the box. Also the spool tensioner no longer works 100%. When I tighten it down I get about 75% tight before I even get it to click or adjust the tension. What can I do to fix this reel besides sending it out to someone else to fix? I want to be able to take car of my own gear.

Shipping Costs
UPS cost me about $28 from IL to California. That being said I was charged city taxes so its probably more like $26. Still better to ship with a pvc tube like dobyns does.

Live Bait Question
Walmart clearance bin baits normally cost $1 to $1.50. During the winter you can normally find baits that cost $6-10 for $1.50-$3 on clearance. Big bites baits are almost .99cents a pack at DSG. The cost of lures adds up but in the end it isn't that bad if you shop around.

Hookset Follies
There was an interesting article about this recently about not using huge hooksets. Hopefully someone can find it and link it for you. The idea is that the bass has your bait further back in its mouth and by some leaning and reeling you have a better chance of hooking them than rearing back and slamming the hook home. Its easy to do with a swim jig or chatterbait but when it comes to a flipping jig I always slam the hook back.
