Finesse lure baitcaster
I was looking to get a chronarch mgl but I'm hearing that it's not salt water friendly which I fish the ca delta and that's brackish water. So I'm looking for a good finesse lure baitcaster that could pitch lighter lures like the chronarch mgl. I heard the curado 70 is good for this but has more bad reviews about not lasting long. So anybody have any recommendations I'll be glad to hear

Daiwa and shimano reels
Okay I just purchased 2 new rods one for moving baits and the other for pitching/light flipping duties 1/4-3/8 oz now I need 2 new reels. I've been reading and seen that the tatula sv tw is great pitching/skipping reel for light to heavy size baits due to its significant control system, and seen the new shimano curado dc lob baits out there with perfect Control and a local tackle shop by me has a extra curado dc on him early which I have option to buy. Please let me know if I'm on the right track of if there's any other recommendations

Minn kota powerdrive v1 to v2?
Sorta can't contact minn kota because they will refuse to tell you because they want you to buy a new one alot of people did what I'm trying to do but no one states the year of there v1. I did read up that it works for 2001-2007 models only I guess I'd have to just risk it and buy the board

Expride or zodias
Bladed jigs and moving style baits would be the use of this rod like 4inch paddel tail swimbaits and spinnerbaits and etc.. Great to know. Because I was reading the description of the expride 7'mh glass and it said it's meant for moving style baits through cover and grass. And makes a excellent chatterbait rod. So if the zodias has the same power and action I would rather save the extra 100 since moving baits don't really need that expensive of a rod.

Expride or zodias
I'm looking to buy a rod for chatterbaits and I'm hearing good things from the shimano zodias 7'2 mh glass and the shimano expride 7'2 mh glass my question is, is there any difference in the power and action of these rods they both have the same lure rating and same specs but I've heard more good things from the expride but if the zodias has the same feel and action I much rather buy a 190 dollar rod compared to a 300 dollar rod. Due to the fact a chatter bait or any type of moving bait does not need a significant amount of sensitivity

Well like I said the 8 inch baits having the least use. I'm mainly focused on throwing the treble hook baits I mentioned above and 6 inch hudd, The 8 inch will be thrown very rarly but I would like a rod that could sorta handle it if I ever want to pick it up and toss it every so often so my main question was out of the irod. fury. or okuma. what will fit my needs the best out of those 3 rods in my price range. Main baits being treble hook and more smaller jig hooks like 6 inch hudds and ospreys. The 8 inch will probably hardly see sun light

And here's the rods I heard good things about okuma guide select A serious. Dobyns fury 795sb. And irod genesis 2. Which brand and model will fit for what I want the most. My price range is anything up to 150
