I want to get a swimbait/musky/punching baitcaster in about 6:1 gear ratio but I'm having trouble deciding, I want it somewhere in the 200$ range. So far I have come up with daiwa lexa 300, lew'd super duty, shimano curado 300e and the concept a3. Any experience with any or other recommendations are appreciated, thank you.

I've got a pretty good selection of jerk baits (Luck-E-craft flash minnow 110, RC stx, rapala shad rap, & rapala shadow rap), all in minnow colors, except rc stx which is black and gold, and they all dive about the same depth (3'-6'). Can anyone help me on which one is better in different situations because at the moment each time i tie one on it's a shot in the dark as to weather its the best one. Any feedback is appreciated

I want to know if anyone has any experience with the kast king orca and if so is it a quality spinning reel Any disadvantages?

I want to get a new spinning rod for next season for less than 100$. I was looking at the Abu Garcia vendetta and the Fenwick hmx both in 6'6 medium action. If you have any experience with any of these rods or think I should choose something else please let me know. Also this rod would be an overall use rod
