Either way I'd say you'll be fine, but I'm a fan of sunline assassin. Btw, American legacy fishing has sunline products 25 percent off right now.

Either half with with a no action trailer or 3/4 with flapping or swimming trailer

I'm in

I believe your thinking is correct. I keep 1/4, 3/8, amd 3/4 weights, 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 jigs, and 1/4 shakey heads, and 1/4 and 3/8 drop shot weights. If you are dialed in on a bite that is focused on fall rare you can usually change lures or trailers to achieve appropriate weight. For example, I got on a magnum rage bug bite that the only way they would bite is if it was with a 3/8 ounce weight pegged.

Reaction innovations pocket rocket, 4/0 g-lock hook, 5/16 screw in weight in the "butt" of the worm. 16lb fluoro. 7' medium heavy duckett micro magic.
-
I'm a big fan of the 3xd. Small "finesse" crank bait, but it casts well and can be thrown on a lighter powered medium heavy or regular powered medium rod.

We just finally got a layer of ice on the ponds. May be hitting up turtle creek reservoir shortly.

I love to throw magnum rage bugs on a 5/0 or 6/0 flipping hook. Pegged with a 3/8 ounce weight. Or a jig anywhere from 3/8 to 3/4 with a 5" pit boss trailer. Weight is determined by the rate of fall I want to achieve or the cover I'm trying to penetrate. Another good bait that we do well on is a soinnerbait during the pre spawn. 1/2 ounce with 5" swimbait trailer. Bandit ledge 250 around standing timber in root beer color is a good one as well. These were all magnum rage bug fish. Black with red flake. The big one is over 7lbs

War eagle 3/8 heavy finesse jig, brown with sapphire blue, road kill, or green pumpkin rage menace.
-
3 biggest are right around 6lbs. My pb is 7lb 2oz. Dont have a picture on my phone. Not sure on the weight of this one. Pushing 7lbs I'd say.
-
I like that its low stretch. Amd for cheap fluoro it handles decent. But if you'd jump up to invizx or sunline assassin you'll have a much nicer line.
-
7 or 8 speed for me
-
My favorite and #1 producer would be pitching either a jig or a texas rig. The biggest take away or tip that I have is to be efficient. Hit your high percentage areas with the best casting angle and boat position you can.
-
I would say try a tatula 150 instead of 100 if you want something for chucking and winding
-
Why not just get another fuego for around 65 bucks? Thats what all my "workhorse" reels are. My lightweight, skipping, and pitching reels are tatula ct or tatula sv.

Daiwa j braid x4 is my favorite braid.

I dont find my 735 to be heavy, and it balances very well. What reel do you have on yours? Although I dont have experience with the rods you have listed I did struggle 2 years ago with my frog set up being "heavy" and unbalanced. I have my 2 735 fury's paired up with tatula ct's and the other with a tatula sv. Another option may be going to a 705.

I am now living that stage of my life. My son literally makes dog/dino/growling sound 40% of the time now that he is starting to "talk"

I use a mh baitcaster for any drop shotting I do. Although I am "bubba shotting".
