St Croix rods are usually heavier than there rating. Your medium rod is probably equivalent to a lot of other manufacturers mh rods.

What reel for Helium 3
I put a Tatula SV on my 7 ft MH helium 3. Haven't had it very long but I've been out a couple times throwing 3/8 jigs and it has quickly become my favorite setup

10ft Jon Boat - Ability to Cast/Work Presentations While Standing?
I’d recommend a plastic boat like a bass raider or pond Prowler. Those are 48” wide and are a lot more stable than a 36” wide Jon boat. I had a 1436 Jon boat before I got my pond Prowler and I had a hard time standing and fishing in it. I can stand and fish all day in my pond Prowler

Fishing Chesdin tomorrow
Did you have any luck today? I’m sure the lake was high and muddy like it’s been the past couple of weeks.

Zillion SV TW
Well I decided to go a different route. I was afraid there wouldn’t be a lot of difference between the Zillion and the Tat SV so I ended up ordering a Chronarch MGL .

Zillion SV TW
What is it that you don't like about the Tat SV? I love mine, just want to try something different.

Zillion SV TW
I’m thinking about getting a Zillion SV. I currently have 2 Tatula SV’s and 2 CT’s. Is there a noticeable difference in performance between the Zillion and Tat SV to make it worth the extra cost? I know the Zillion has a free floating spool and the Tatula doesn’t.

Lews Blues
Lews and Abu are made at the same factory.

Reels....do you stick with one brand?
I have all Daiwa reels except for one Shimano Chronarch CI4. I highly doubt I’ll ever buy a reel that’s not a Daiwa or Shimano.

Small utility trailer for BassBaby / Pelican style boat?
I use a 5x8 utility trailer to haul my Pond Prowler. It’s too heavy for a truck bed after the mods I’ve done to it plus I never take my motors or batteries out.
-
Dobyn Sierra or Loomis E6X spinning rod
Never held a Sierra but I like my Fury better than my e6x so I'd get the Sierra.

$250 range for a rod - options at Bass Pro
Your options are very limited at BPS for rods. I would go with an Avid x or LTB or use your gift card at Cabela’s on an ALX Zolo.

What are your fishing goals for 2019?
My goal is to catch my first double digit bass.
- Bass fishing around tons of shad??
-
Line Suggestion
I would use a Copoly line. P-line CX or McCoy Xtra clear would be my choice.

Deep cycle battery for BassBaby
How long do you stay out on the water usually? A group 24 battery is going to give you less running time than a 27.
