Who Made/makes These Crankbaits?
My guess would be Bagley's as well.

Line Size And Type For Jerk Baits
I like 10 or 12lb mono or copolymer. Fluoro will make you suspending baits and topwater sink. There are some pros that like to use it for ripbaits though.

Curado - Cracked Brake Pin Housing
Here is the spool you need but it would be cheaper just to buy a new reel. http://www.mikesreelrepair.com/bnt1507-spool-assembly-p-61553.html

Sunline Reaction Fc
Anyone used this new line or plan on it? I just got a new spool of FC Sniper but was wondering how this compares to it. "Sunline Reaction FC is a new fluorocarbon line designed specifically for reaction baits, including spinnerbaits, crankbaits, rattlebaits and vibrating jigs. Reaction FC is made from a new, softer, high strength fluorocarbon material. This new material combined with its unique manufacturing process creates a line that is very supple and flexible, which allows Reaction FC to handle better on your reel. Double resin processing also gives the line outstanding slickness for better casting than traditional fluorocarbons. Also formulated to have more stretch than other Sunline fluorocarbons, Sunline Reaction FC will increase landing percentages of fish caught on reaction baits. With a high specific gravity of 1.78, Reaction FC helps get your crankbaits to run at their maximum depth. Sunline Reaction FC is also dyed stealth gray to help it be even more invisible in any water color." Looks like it may be worth a try next season.

Jig Rod Insight
The new crucials are extremely underrated. That will be a fantastic jig rod.

Favorite Topwater Bait ?
Sammy or Ima Roumba
-
Jig Rod Insight
The new shimano crucials are almost spot on in terms of power.
-
Jig Rod Insight
It will work for jigs but won't be able to throw a-rigs very well. St Croix's are underpowered so a M would be like a MH.

Walmart Stepped It Up, Amazing
I hope you didn't get kicked out. Taking photos in Walmart usually results in you getting the boot.

Need A New Low Profile Reel
Try to get a 6.X:1 reel for general purpose.(X being substituted for whatever number the paticular reel is.) I fish from a kayak as well. I think a Revo S, Citica G, BPS Carbonlite, or any of the Lew's reels will work if you are buying new. If you are buying used then some options to consider are a Chronarch 100B, Daiwa Fuego, Daiwa Sol, Chronarch SF, or a Revo STX. I got my Lews TPH1 for $150 new and it is a phenomenol reel.

Powerpro Super Slick
Frays easy, fades quickly, makes a terrible noise going through guides, and has poor abrasion resistance. Just what I've heard around other websites though so who knows.
-
Powerpro Super Slick
I've heard that it is worse than the regular power pro.

Chronarch 200E Or Curado 200E?
Depends on what size cranks you are throwing.

Better Check Your Dick's
Mine has the 50% off of .97 but nothing in the store except 2 Mister Twister's end in .97

Chronarch 200E Or Curado 200E?
What is this Chronarch G?
-
Light Flouro Knot
San Diego Jam and Trilene are what I use. Francho always says that when you are using the palomar with fluoro that you have moisten it well and synch it down perfectly.

Crankbait Rod For Lipless, Squarebill And Shallow Diving Crankbaits
7' MH for sure dude. Welcome to BR!
-
What Quality Inexpensive Fluorocarbon?
Use mono backing and then add 50-60 yards of whatever fluoro you want. I just go 1280yrds of Cajun Line for $3.88 and I will fill up most of my reel with that and then tie my Sunline FC Sniper to it to save some money. I can fill up 3-4 reels this way.

Rod Question
Get a 7' MH Lightining Rod if they have it. Should work well for many purposes.
-
New Spro Crankbaits????
Probably winter.... TW is usually the first ones to get new tackle.
-
Mono Or Copolymer With No Stretch?
No
-
Vendetta Vs Verdict
Honestly, I would look somewhere else. I have heard great things about the Veritas but have heard a lot of troubles with the Verdict and Vendetta. Not to mention the warranty isn't great. Maybe you could give a Shimano Compre a go?
-
Copolymer....
I find it a bit more supple but haven't really tested it much http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/95702-p-line-c21/page__hl__c21
