Do DC reels make that big of a difference?
That is a good deal, I already bought 4 reels this season. Don't make me buy one more?

Banded Replacement Skirts
I recently picked up Boss skirts on Tackle Warehouse sale. They have a large variety of colors to choose from. They'll do the job.

Zoom Zlinky- New Stickbait Contender?
I'm surprised that they are just releasing these, I think they are a bit late to the party. I love the Bass Pro Stik-O they are a very good bait for a great price and they have variety of sizes/colors.

What rod should I combo with my shimano slx xt151hg
I left a few rods a couple posts above that might be a few other choices at a lower price point that can get the job done also. It can depend on what your planning to spend $ wise also and what technique your looking to use. I've never used a St Croix rod so I can't give you my personal opinion. If you set on St Croix rod the specs on the Mojo Bass if you're looking at the MH models, it looks like just a bit difference between the 7-7'1, I think either would get the job done, just depends on what kind of lure/technique your planning to the rod for? 7' Med Heavy MJC70MHMF - Spinnerbait. A perfect rod for searching open water with big spinnerbaits for active fish. Lure Wt= 3/8-3/4oz 7'1 Med Heavy MJC71MHF - Jigs & Baits. A super versatile rod that’s perfect for searching open water with big spinnerbaits for active fish. It’s also ideal for jigs, worms and working heavy cover. Lure Wt=3/8-1oz

What rod should I combo with my shimano slx xt151hg
Here are a few choices under $100.00. I tried the Bass X. I didn't like it at all, very tip heavy to me even with a reel mounted on the rod.

Quantum reels
I purchased one Quantum reel many years ago, unfortunately it lasted about a year. Hopefully they have improved the quality of them. The new Accurist S3 PT looks like pretty nice reel.

Baitcast Reel Maintenance
I service my own reels and it isn't that hard of a job. I usually only do a full tear down service every other year. If you haven't had it very long I would just clean the body of the reel with a clean damp cloth, add a drop of oil in the bearings that are accessible and clean the grease off the worm gear with a q-tip and add a couple small dabs of Cal's reel grease. If you have no experience of servicing a reel or mechanic skills I would send it out for service.

Reel pairing for MH Fury
I would recommend any Diawa or Shimano because I've used both, I don't think you will go wrong with either. I have 4 of the Daiwa Fuego CT reels and I've been very happy with them. There are a lot of different brands/models you can find in that price range, find the one that is comfortable for you. Be ready for the upcoming Thanksgiving sales and find a good deal.

American Tackle Reels?
I totally agree, I love my Fuego CT reels or keep an I out for the Bass Pro Qualifier sale.

Costa sunglasses
I just want to add that Costa has a great warranty. My Costa's were around 10 years old and the lens were delaminating. I contacted them about the issue, I just had to send my old pair back and a week later I had a new pair. I like to spend a little more for a better quality/warranty. It's worth it in my opinion.

Chatterbaits in place of squarebills/lipless?
Some of my best producing baits are crankbaits, lipless crankbaits, spinnerbaits, bladed jigs. Those are some of my best producing baits in my arsenal. I've caught my largest fish & good numbers on all of these baits.
