What Leader material do you all use? (braid to leader)
I only use braid and leader for my dropshot setups, everything else is flourocarbon, or straight braid. But for my dropshot setup its 5lb Maxima Ultragreen for open water, and 6lb for areas that have some sparse cover a fish could try to run towards. It's never let me down and I fish Clearlake from time to time where the largemouth are big and mean.

Brainfarts while rigging?
Yup, or cutting off the tag end and wondering where the heck you're supposed to tie the dropshot weight.

Just received my custom rod from Nelson rods, built on a St. Croix SCV610MLXF blank, with spiral wrapped titanium torzite guides, and carbon fiber grips, paired it with a Alphas CT SV, should be an awesome shakyhead rod.

Anybody ever wanna go back?
I wish, but I have way too much cool stuff. I always do better on my boat than when I'm a co angler because I have so much tackle to cover any scenario and logs from past trips all in the boat. In reality it's all in my head probably, a hula grub, Squarebill, topwater of some sort a senko and dropshot and I would be covered in my state.

Why is braid not sensitive on slack line?

Overfishing
Any boat thats gets within casting distance of me when I've been on spot lock, gets a 12 oz swimbait thrown repeatedly in their direction until they leave.

M or ML st croix
That blank is awesome no mater if its in the mojo or legend xtreme. Just a great blank.

M or ML st croix
Since I have numerous St croix rods in every model, I will tell you the 6ft10 ml extra fast model is the one you want, the medium model is more of a mag medium, the ml extra fast has a ton of back bone with a lively tip. On the ML 6ft10 xfast rods I have, I throw everything from ned rigs using 1/16 heads, to 1/4 shakyheads with trick worms and 4 to 5 inch Yamamoto grubs on 1/16-1/4 ball or darter heads. It's also a excellent t rig rod, I use a 1/8 tungsten bullet weight, 1/0 roboworm rebarb hook and a 6 inch fat roboworm in purple brown hologram, it's awesome for that bait combo. You'll be disappointed in the medium for the applications you are describing.

Berkley Maxscent Really Work?
It definitely works and works well, it's not magic but when the bite is tough i tend to do much better with a Maxscent meaty chunk as a jig trailer than any other, especially when deadsticking.
-
Black trick worms
You think the black trick worms are good, try the Blackberry (read black) Mann's Jelly worms.

One lure only.
4.5 inch roboworm in oxblood light red flake.

Heavy 1 oz jig
Exactly the same here.

Getting skunked...
Your determination to argue your opinion which is what it is, proves you do not give up easily even if the argument is futile as are all arguments based off of opinions, you read too much into my posts and assumed other things, but nonetheless good job, definitely an A in my book.

Getting skunked...
It's definitely a weakness if that pitcher gave it 100% then why are they upset, they are in more control of their pitching, than a angler trying to coerce a fish to bite a lure in fishing there are way more variables, pitching wasn't a good example.

Megabass Dark Sleeper
They are extremely productive, I will say they fish alot lighter than the stated weight, I regularly fish the 3/4 and 1 ounce, some days it's lights out.
