Need Some Advice
I don’t know what your budget is but I would buy the biggest screen you can afford. If you run split screens it will be hard to see on a 5” unit.

St Croix power
Another vote for medium. I have a MH Mojo and it’s pretty stout .
-
Crankbait rod
I use the graphite Tatula M/R for lipless and shallow to medium divers as well. I like it a lot better than my Fury 705cb. Have you thrown deep divers on your MH Glass? I've been looking at that rod or either the heavy.

3 steps to cheap & effective braid/everything scissors
The Rapala scissors have always worked great for me.

Tatula heavy glass
I’m looking at the Tatula 7’4 heavy glass rod for deep diving cranks. Anyone have any experience with this rod?
-
Crankbait rod
Fury 705cb works pretty good for me for shallow and mid diving cranks. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the ALX IKOS Hustler.

Daiwa Tatula SV vs. Curado DC
My Tatula Sv casts just as far as my Chronarchs. I have one on my lipless setup and it will cast a 1/2 ounce trap just as far as I need it to.

Pond Prowler II (10ft) - No Boat control While Standing & Fishing - Traxxis Solution?
I agree about using a foot controlled trolling motor.I fish a mixture of standing/sitting in my pond prowler. I don't feel comfortable standing when it's windy,the water is choppy or if I have to ride out a wake from another boat.

Favorite all around casting reel ratio
I don’t have a favorite. I use the one that’s most suitable for the lure I’m throwing.

Any Pelican Bass Raider Owners Out There?
I’ve made a few changes since those pictures were taken. New fish finder and I added 2 more feet of decking because I didn’t have much standing room where the seat was mounted. Haven’t added any support yet, but probably will soon. I’ve had 2 Bigfoot switches go bad in 3 years, not sure if getting wet caused the failures. Here are some newer pics of it.

Mono or Flouro on a Mojo Spinner Bait Casting Rod?
I like copoly for Spinnerbaits
-
Padding your spools
I fill my spools halfway with cheap mono as backing then fill the rest of the spool with the good line. The braid and fluorocarbon lines I use aren’t cheap and this method cuts my cost of respooling in half.
-
Line for jig/t-rig fishing (no braid)
I think you’ve got this backwards. Fluorocarbon doesn’t return to it’s shape after being stretched, mono does.
-
Underrated lures / companies? Are we paying for names?
A lot of cheap lures usually come with cheap quality hooks, by the time you change hooks,you’re not really saving money.
-
Do I need a weight for a wacky rig?
A 5 inch Senko weighs 3/8 ounce. No need for a weight.

Lowrance Elite 9Ti or Garmin Echomap plus 93sv
Precision Sonar and Russell Marine make a trolling motor mount for the Lowrance Totalscan transducer. I just bought the Elite 7ti last week at Bass Pro for 499. I wish I would’ve known the 9 was going to go on sale.
