Fluorocarbon Questions.
I've tried braid as backing. Didnt like it too much. I too backlashed with that. I now use mono as backing. The fluoro I use now is mccoy 100%. Dont usually use it for light lures though

Becoming a guide/fishing teacher?
Could always do this under the table. Just to supplement yourself. Ive had people (that ive delclined) even ask me to go on THEIR boat and show them around a lake that they never fished before. Offered me some money. But he kind of creeped me out, soooo...haha

Shades of polorized lenses
Ive heard different eyes different lenses. People swear by amber lenses for sight fishing.while others cant see a thing with amber lenses. I kno im fine with amber as long as its bright out. Intermittent clouds i like the yellow lenses. brightens everything up.

Washing Tournament jersey
Check the label. Usually it might say machine wash. use cold water. Tumble dry. If its like a thin silky material thats most likely dry clean, even if it does say machine wash. Pssst. Frabreeze works well too.

Good rod/reel for crankbaits and multi purpose use?
Maybe look at kast king reels majority of them are inexpensive. And for rods you have options with ugly sticks. House rods from cabelas or bps. Like a whuppin stick or cranking stick. You are looking for a rod that has give in it maybe a moderate or maderate fast. As for combos im not familiar with them i usually buy rods and reels seperate. Your can go to the store and check a couple out. Sorry i cant be of more help.

Frog rod logistics
6'6" rod will work fine even with medium heavy rod. Thats what i use. Just watch the specs. At least 12-20 lb line 3/8-1 oz. Line. And you want a fast or extra fast tip. Your using no stretch heavy braid so the frog hooks will go in fine. I use a cheap quantum tournament grade im8 and its rated for 25 lb line 1 1/2 oz. A strong backbone. Works great for me.

Deep cranking setup
The reel. Go to a 5:1 gear ratio, that might alleviate some of the fatigue your feeling. Wide spool doent hurt either. Keeps the reel fuller of line then the gear ratio stays up without tiring out.

Need advice on casting
Might be too light for a baitcasting setup. And rapala's balsa is pretty hard to cast in itself.
