Lookin for a new crankbait rod, i mainly throw square bills whats a good rod? Brand/length/action

I live in east Texas the temperature is in the mid 50s/60s it has been sunny on weekends but is usually overcast this time of year, i generally fish water that is stained and i fish anywhere from 3 feet to 15-25 feet deep,the lake has a bit of structure like logs and brush under the water with some patches of hydrilla what bait should i be throwing this time of year?

Has anyone ever tried Texas rigging soft plastics in the winter?

I am am a very avid fisherman and go to the lake every day, i am pretty good at bass fishing and am planning to start tournaments soon, i feel like there is plenty that i still need to learn about bass fishing, what is a good way to learn all i can to prepare me for the tournament world

I have a Shimano Citica and i am taking it apart to clean it i got the handle off and all the screws holding down the sideplate but one screw is stuck, i have tried numerous screw driver sizes and am afraid i might strip the screw, if i cant get the screw out i cant take tge side plate of and clean the reel, any ideas?

I have been cleaning my reels and i started working on my Shimano Citica and cannot remove the nut on the handle so i can't get that side plate off i have used the correct nut driver but its still stuck and i almost stripped it, what do i do?

Thanks guys ill start lookin around for.clubs!

Im 16 and it has been my dream for years to get started tournament fishing, i have looked on countless websites and cannot figure out how to get started tournament fishing, please help!
