Lews Tournament Pro
The TP is one of the best reels out there. If you want a solid reel that can take a use and keep on going, it is your reel. The only reason that I didn't keep mine was because I like to customize and own own rarer stuff. If I had to have one line of reels, it would be either the TP or Zillion and that is considering the Zillion is 120 more it could sway your opinion.

Using A Wrong Handed Reel For Pitching
This is me to a T. I can't reel left handed with baitcasters. I've Taught myself to pitch left handed rather than learn to crank lefty. Spinning reels I crank left handed lol

Best Value? P-Line Fc Or Sunline Sniper?
Sometimes there is a reason why some things are more expensive than other

What Is Your Preferred Line For Bladed Swim Jigs?
15-17lb invizx or sniper

Lews Speed Spool Or Tournament Speed Spool
More drag, dual braking, more bearings I believe

What Moving Baits Can I Combine?
Well I use a 705 for squarebills, rattletrap, medium diving cranks, poppers and jr. Spooks with 12lb mono. The 734 gets 17lb fluoro

Dobyns 765Cb Glass
I use graphite except for this rod. With that much line out, I want a rod that has more give to keep the fish pinned on. The 765 glass is my deep water rod but can be used for much more. A friend of mine uses it for big squarebills and spinnerbaits too.

St. Croix Mojo Slop-N-Frog Rod
I used it. It was heavy, tip heavy and a broom. I like St. Croix but it was impossible to use that rod all day with frogs and just as hard to walk the dog with it. Honestly you would be better using the Spinnerbait mojo as it is basically a H action but lighter with a softer tip.

Lews Tourney Mg Vs. Super Duty Speed Spool
Tournament mg will be fine for that. The super duty is lighter but has brass gearing for really heavy duty stuff so for cranking I would say it is unecessary. The low gear ratio super duty is meant for a rigs, swimbaits etc
-
What Moving Baits Can I Combine?
I use the champ 734 for single hook moving baits like buzzbaits, chatterbaits, swim jigs, spinnerbaits and small swimbaits. The lone exception is big spooks which I also threw on it and it worked great.
-
Bps Pro Qualifier Or Lews Tournament?
Both great reels but I preferred the tournament because of the 85mm handle, stronger drag and what I felt to be a slightly smoother feel. That being said, don't think I am taking away from the PQ as it is also a money reel. Just comes down to preference.

Big Bite Baits Squirrel Tail Worm
I've had great success with them. Only problem I had was on twin lakes the rock bass tore the tails off them by the minute. That was annoying lol

Ever Used Vicious Fishing Line?
Use it as leader material

Ever Used Vicious Fishing Line?
The original viscous was junk. Worst fluoro I have ever used. It was big and totally unmanageable. The one pro that people say is that is strong. Duh, it's line diameter is usually much larger than other companies and as such has a higher breaking strength. I honestly had much better results with Berkely Vanish and that is not sarcasm.

New Frog Rod And Reel
Savvy 735 and a lews super duty high speed
-
Dobyns Champ Cast Rod 7'3" Mh 733 - Swim Jig Rod
I was going to suggest the 734 as well. It is one of the most versatile moving bait rods out there including chatterbaits, swim jigs, buzzbaits, small swimbaits, spinnerbaits and the like. I keep fluoro on mine.
