I like starting with several options and make 10 casts before switching.

Tomato stake

Geez... One and only is an obvious choice...GYCB 5" Senko Choose YOUR favorite color...I like Green Pumpkin and Watermelon

No, but my main rod for deep and heavy cranking is a Lamiglas SR705R. The St. Croix is a different animal. My Lamiglas is much "softer".

CONGRATULATIONS!

Baits have more action.

New from St. Croix LBTC72HM. I saddled my new rod up with a Conquest 100/ #13 Sunline Shooter Defier Armilo. This rod is rated Heavy Power/ Moderate Action and fishes as described. Tied on the new Spro Aruku Shad 65. The rod is a perfect match for heavier lures and deep divers. https://stcroixrods.com/products/legend-tournament-bass-2022-new-models

Tatsu now comes in 4# test. Give it a try, I like it a lot!

Hmm... When a barge passes me below the Pickwick Dam the fish are stimulated and we usually get a quick bite.

At about the same pricing point, this Okuma is KILLER! https://www.tackledirect.com/okuma-psy-s-721m-psycho-stick-spinning-rod.html

Is that an invitation or warning? I fish for fun.

The only store brand I fish is the BPS Tender Tube.

For the most part I fish ponds in Germantown and the Tennessee River/ Pickwick. Other water mixed in throughout the year: Bull Shoals (White River), Guntersville, Kentucky Lake, Wilson and the Mississippi River. Then there are a few major exceptions: ToHo, Lake Fork, Toledo Bend and Ray Roberts.
