Sorry guys...got a drag setting question.
Exactly!

How many use brakes?
Two on, four off. Cast control just enough to keep the spool from wobbling, basically "off". 8-)

Need advice on rod/reel combo, under $225, for soft plastics
Be patient and keep an eye on our Flea Market. You should be able to pick up a St. Croix Avid and a Shimano Citica for $225 or so. There is an Avid currently offered for $115 delivered to your door. 8-)

Spinnerbait/ buzzbait set-up question (baitcasting)
My suggestion is an Avid AVC66MF or AVC70MF. Line = Yo-Zuri Hybrid #12 Monofilament, fluorocarbon and copolymer lines of equal diameter will all cast about the same. 8-)

Making life easy for smoking enthusiasts
I would say yes, but I have never smoked a turkey. I'm exclusively pork ribs or butts. 8-)

Making life easy for smoking enthusiasts
I have the Weber. This is the perfect size for family cookouts. You can smoke up to six rib racks on the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&productId=100657680&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&ci_src=64119933&ci_sku=100657680&cm_mmc=shopping-_-googleads&locStoreNum=1519&marketID=51 8-)

Vicious Fluorocarbon Line
Well, I think there are better options. On the cheap side, Trilene 100% is okay (3rd generation Vanish). I have been impressed with Seaguar InvizX #8 on spinning tackle, AbrazX #12 on baitcasting gear. 8-)

Help Needed for All-Purpose Spinning Set Up
Different and cool? Take a look at the Dobyns line-up. I have a Champion 683C saddled with a CH50MG. It's beautiful! The comparable spinning rod (683SF) would be great for you matched up with a 2500 CI4. http://dobynsrods.com/rods.html 8-)

Round reel vs. low-profile reel
I like round reels better than low profiles for several purposes and techniques. I have three: CTE200GT for deep diving crankbaits; CTE100GT for weighted soft plastics; CTE200GT for my striper rig. 8-)

tube fishing muddy water
Most Tennessee water is "stained". Visibility varies a lot, but 4-6' is fairly common. "Muddy" to me means "after heavy rain". For the most part, muddy = nothing works! This is especially true in the winter. The Gitzit works anywhere, all the time, at any depth. It's not always the best choice, but always an option. I prefer rigging with an inserted weight, Gamakatsu 3/0 EWG Offset Worm Hook (thin wire) and Yo-Zuri #6 fished on spinning tackle. This bait was designed to "do nothing". However, over the years a number of presentations have developed. Sit and do nothing; dragged; hopped and lifted are most common. Another VERY effective option is C-rigged. 8-)
