Powell Endurance Reviews Please
I have never fished a *** but have played with one at a tackle shop the only thing I didnt car for was the handle diameter was really small similiar to the duckets. I like a larger handle diameter like the powells have.

Centrifugal Or Magnetic Brakes...... Choose One!
Centrifugal brakes if only one brake but I prefer reels with both. I only use the mag brakes when casting into a strong wind most of the time they are off.

Yo-yo the bait up and down 2-4 times letting the bait sit on the bottom some times of in the middle of the water column sometimes. It depends different days they like it different ways.

Live Target Frog Hook Up Ratio
Bending the hooks a little up off the body helps alot. I wont use a frog unless I have bent the hooks out and up a little.

Golf Course Fishing
I have always had better luck getting permission at golf courses that are open to the public. The private ones are a little harder to get into. My cousin is local golf pro and it helps having some one vouch for you.

Citica E Brake Problems
No because the two you leave on are across from each other and balance each other. It also doesn't defeat the purpose of having quick access because how often do you have more then two brakes out. I never have its either 2 for baits 3/8 oz and over and 1 out for 1/4 oz baits. Its actually pretty common for people to take out what the dont use.

Non Skid Paint Instead Of Carpet
I've used seadek on inshore boats before and its awesome stuff but its not cheap. If I ever buy another new boat it will have non skid with sea dek on it. You get the comfort of carpet but the ease of cleaning you get with non skid.

Citica E Brake Problems
Take the brakes you want down out of the reel and store them some where. This is what I do with mine I take 4 out and leave 2 in the reel pushed out.

What To Use In Heavy Vegetation?
Soft plastic swim bait like a skinny dipper or big ez rigged weedless with a 1/8-1/4 oz belly weighted screw lock hook. Swim it just above the grass slower the better.

Cranking With A Heavy/fast....
I dont see why you couldnt make it work as long as you keep in mind you are using a fast action rod. Its not something I would recommend to a beginner but and experienced angler shouldnt have any problems.

Washing Your Boat?
Washed every other trip unless it has a scum line the it gets washed immediatly its easier to get off before it bakes on. Then after I wash it I wipe it down with a detailing spray wax. Then about once a month I completely detail it inside,outside and the bilge. I also pull both outboard and trolling motor props and check for line. Then check the water levels in the batteries. Cleaning the boat is when I usually find things that need to be tightened or fixed.

Those Annoying Squeaks On Reels
My first guess would be the centrifugal brake shoes. Another place I've had make noise like you are describing is the handle knobs.

Why St. Croix!!
They are not 100% made in the USA either all the components are sourced from fuji just like every other rod manufacturer. 100% assembled in the USA would be a better term.
