All of the above. But I think you'd be way better off updating your current reels with carbontex drag washers, and some good bearings, rather than replacing.

A good chunk of KVD's $6+ million tournament winnings have come from a 6/10 XD. Idk, he might be on to something with em

I wasn't going to get super invested in diving into every states registration fees. I'm sure we can agree that while one of the 50 states may even charge more, that $400 isn't likely?

You would think she would, but apparently she's trying to pocket an extra $50 https://www.dmv.org/nh-new-hampshire/boat-registration.php

2 oz, 25' diving cranks?

Guess it depends on what they are. It's not worth it to repair a black max. A Chronarch, on the other hand, will last forever with a little maintenance and a new part here and there

Throwing 10XD's on either of those sounds miserable.

I'm gonna call BS. Pretty sure California has the highest fee at $49. You'll never see a tournament without graphs for pedals. That's like BASS doing the elites without trolling motors. But if you have an issue with motors, there's other trails that don't allow them.

$20-30 a piece, maybe?

So you want to do a tournament for...a tournament club? I assume they already have a tournament director?

Lithium will have a BMS shutoff around 15-20%. So you're really only getting 6.5 hours max

The 93sv pulls 1.25a. 10 might not be enough, depending on how long you need it to run, and definitely won't be enough if you got lead acid

See, if my living room TV broke, I wouldn't even know for at least a week. If one of my rods went missing, I'd notice that before the day ended. It's a hobby, and all of it's expenses are equal to whatever level of interest you have in it.

I'm a big gear nut. But I'm also a big believer in the law of diminishing returns. Is a $500 rod better than my $150 rods? Absolutely. Is it $350 better? Eh, not to me. Is my $140 reel better than that $30 Walmart reel? Yeah, and it'll last a good 10 years of service, and has a great warranty. The extra expense is worth the quality, without spending more than I should for features I don't need.

You're asking a single rod to do too many things, and be good at them all. Some people can be snide about it all they want, different rods have different characteristics that make them excel at certain things. I don't believe you need a $500 rod for every technique or situation, but I think you'd be better off with 2-3 $100 rods than you would be trying to make a single $200+ rod work for 3 completely different applications.
