Worst Lure ever bought?
Put them up for sale in the Flea Market. We have plenty of Rage Tail fans. Offer the lot with a reasonable discount and they will sell immediately. -Kent 8-)

Magnetic Brakes, Centrifugal Brakes or Both
Centrifugal brakes make casting easier. Magnetic brakes make it harder. :

Rods made for more than one technique.
Maybe this will help: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1141187546 Specifically: Technique specific rods are for "enthusiasts". Almost all your fishing can be done with just one rod. Beyond that, you only "need" three rods: Spinning: 6 1/2' or 7', M or MH, Fast Action (soft plastics and light lures) Baitcasting: MH or H, Fast Action (jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and all single hooks) Baitcasting: MH, Moderate Action (all treble hook lures) Here is another thread currently running with specific recommendations: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1267390133

White bass hooks?
Crappie hooks on a split shot rig are perfect if you are fishing baby craws, their favorite meal! -Kent

Curado vs Chronarch vs Calais
For light and/or shallow running lures, I don't think the lower gear ratio is that important. Sometimes you want to burn a lipless crank! For deep diving lures (DD22/ Mann's 20+/ DT16) I recommend the Shimano CTE200GT. Otherwise, the Calais is an excellent choice. 8-)

Worst Lure ever bought?
Wow! That's surprising, I fish the jig head with and without a skirt. It's a favorite of mine. 8-)

Danica ??
Every Sunday there are 23 cars used for filler. What difference does it make if one of those cars is driven by a women? They usually get out of the way. Dancia can do that, too. :-X

Weightless soft plastics, dropshot, jerkbaits at night and split shotting live baits. 8-)

BPS Reel Trade In... Are you kidding me?!?
Geez...I hope someone from BPS sees this thread. Cutomer satisfaction can be so simple. In this case nothing more than a raincheck: Happy campers and the company makes another sale. What's so hard 'bout that?

XCalibur HJ12 Jerk Bait
The Rapala HJ12 is probably what you bought: http://www.rapala.com/products/lures/husky_jerk/ This is a very effective lure, but does not cast or suspend as well as the LC Pointer. Here are the XCalibur Twitch Baits: http://www.excaliburlures.com/twitch.asp 8-)
