Determining the crankbait bite.
I have so much confidence in a crankbait, that is what I catch them on 75% on the time. I have one crank that catches most of the fish, I have a bunch of colors but catch most of 2 colors. If I don't catch them the first hour, I will go to a worm. If you are losing that many cranks. You need a crankbait retriever I actually have 3. I am still using the same crankbait that I stated using in January!!! I might add that I am a shallow water fisherman.

How many baitcast reels below 6.0:1 do you own?
I use to use reels that were 5.2:1. The lowest I got now is 6.3:1. Don't feel the need for the slower speeds now.

Help with "simple" PowerPole wiring
Just wondering why you don't hook it direct to the battery. Red to hot, black to ground with an inline fuse in between the red. you could hook it to the trolling motor battery or to your main boat battery.

Landing fishing net
I use the Ego S1. It is a fixed length but I really don't think I have needed the extra length. You can get the net in different sizes and materials. They are a little pricey but well worth the money. If any part should break, Ego sells parts for your net. Also the handle matches my boat. 😁

Boat winch quo
I have a boat similar to yours. I have a Fulton 1600 lb winch on it. Works great but like most said, never hurts to go up. Check out the Fulton, they make great winches and jack stands.

Go to baits always on the deck?
A crankbait and a worm. Most of the time it is a Frittside and a 5" Senko.

Dobyns Fury worth it now?
I have been using the Fury 705 cb lately. I don't know about the other rods but the 705 cb is the best crankbait rod out there for the money. To me it is worth the $150, maybe more. It beat out my Daiwa Tatula Randy Howell rod and that is saying a lot.
