How Many Lures Do You Have?
You can never have too many

Reel Size
Spinning I'm assuming? If so you should try getting a baitcaster... they aren't as bad as they seem.

Line For Jerkbait Rod
X3 on the Yo Zuri. 12 lb should work but don't forget to spray KVD line and lure. Their Hybrid 12 lb breaks at 19 lbs.

Whats Everyone's Preferred Spinnerbait Brands?
I like Booyah, but I'm looking to try some Pepper Customs and some Revenge Spinners.

Matching Line Weight To Rod/reel
I follow the line diameters of the braid. They'll usually provide the mono equivalent. But really for baitcasters 30 and up is what you should use because anything below that will dig into intself For spinning reels generally 8-20 lb braid, it's not necessary to go all the way up to 30 or 40

Jig Setup (Rod, Line Advice)
I would get at least a 7' rod. I'm getting the *** Black 7'3" MH for what you're using but I'm mostly throwing 3/8 and 1/2 oz so you may want to bump it up to the heavy power. I like using 30-40 lb braid with jigs with a 15-20 lb fluoro leader. Some like straight fluoro, though

Fishing Leaders On Spinning Reels
It's an awesome idea. Braid lasts forever, and when visibility is an issue, just buy one filler spool of your favorite fluorocarbon to use as leader material. Saves a TON of money

Swallowing Soft Baits
Sometimes you just can't help it. The wind may be blowing, and you'll never feel the bite. Happens to me all the time. You don't need to do anything to change the way you're fishing. I guess paying more attention to your line would help.

Confessing To A Lie.
Kudos to you. But I'm sure little things like that are insignificant, don't sweat it too much!

Braid Or Flurocarbon? Which Is The Most Sensitive?
Fluorocarbon is more sensitive. Braid is sensitive with a semi-tight line.

Need To Pick Up My First Heavy Action Rod Soon
I too am going to get an *** at the end of the year. TW doesn't have them in stock until December anyway. I've decided to get the 7'3" MH for 3/8 oz and 1/2 oz jigs, and some moderate cover frogging. 7'3" for the little extra casting distance over the 7'1". I've only used Powell Rods, and they are a little underrated comparted to the Omens. The Powell Heavy is an *** MH. If you're gonna be using bigger jigs than what I am I'd go with the heavy power.

What Do You Do When You Snag A Good Piece Of Cover?
I've never seen anyone do that bow and arrow trick before.... I usually just grab a tree branch, wrap my braid around it, and pull until something gives. Might need to try that out

What Do You Do When You Snag A Good Piece Of Cover?
It depends on the lure.... for ex) I'm sure a lot of people would go diving for a Megabass lol

Meat And Potatoes Baitcast Setup.
You will get more leverage on the fish with a longer rod like kikstand stated. I lose a bunch of fish in a kayak with my 6'8" rod
