What's a good fluorocarbon line
I agree with this. I fish straight 14# Sniper on my finesse jigs and 12# InvisX on my cranks.. both have been great to me.

What's a good fluorocarbon line
InvisX is a great crankbait fluoro line. Actually has a good bit of stretch and really allows for more feel on the heavier rods required to get deep divers down. I use 12# on a MH/MF and have had no complaints.

Jerkbait Rod?
I like moderate action with all my treble hook lures.

rather have a squarebill or lipless when fishing wood? And why/
A squarebill will be able to float it's way out of trouble and of course has a bill that can at least deflect the bait to avoid hang ups.

Is Falcon Bucco worth it?
I've got a 6'6" MH/F Micro spooled with 50lb braid. I beat the hell out of the thing and it's performed great. I got mine for a similar price and I have no regrets.

Opinions for Crankbait rod
I went and held the cranking variant last Friday not knowing it had a different reel seat than the others. Wasn't crazy about it. I also held a Cashion for the first time and just didn't like the material used for the handles.

I would avoid braid and recommend mono or invizx

Arashi VS Spro
The Fat Papa rolls pretty well but it's a deeper running bait.

your experience with suspending jerkbaits
I might like tuning my jerkbaits more than fishing them. I've had the most luck with pointers but beyond that I've had no problems with RCs, Twitchin Sticks, Jackall Squads and Shadow raps. Another bait I like that I bought a few of from a member in here is the River2Sea minnow. I believe it's discontinued but the suspending and action is great. Buy some suspendots and owner stingers and tune accordingly.

What are some good squarebills for around 5-7$
I have three go to squarebills. I now have about 20 KVDs that are mostly 1.5s, XCS100s which have a great wobble, and the Spro Little John (if you consider that a squarebill) that have an awesome slow float. I would jump on eBay and just buy a big lot of KVDs in the color that best suits you.
