Okuma Spinning Reels
I have the president 6530, rtx 30, stratus 25 and sienna 2500. My favorite would be the rtx, followed by the president. The stratus is a nice reel but it just feels cheap. It's on sale right now at DSG for $29.99.

Best 100$ Baitcaster
I can vouch for that seller. My Fuego CT just came in. The free pouch is too small for the reel. Probably meant for a Lews! On topic, if you have smaller hands or prefer smaller profile, get Lews. Otherwise, Fuego CT all the way.

Heddon One Knocker Fans ?
I have almost all the colors of the one knocker, favorite color is the bone. I also use the bone with silver side and red head. I use them primary for topwater striper. Over the pass 2 years I have had a few that broke on me. The inner wall that keeps the weight in the tail would shatter and the weight would freely move inside the lure. This would cause the lure's action and noise to change dramatically. I sent 6 broken lures to Heddon and got them replaced.

Recommendations
I used to own some black max and silver max. The silvermax didn't warrant the price increase, get the bm. For rod, get yourself the new berkley lightning rod ($40 at DSG). If shopping online, get yourself a fuego ct ($65 ebay with 10% off code) and Fuego rod ($45 ebay).

Lews Mach crush combo
I don't have the crush but I do have the Mach 2. I paid $140 for the combo. The rod is im8 and feels fine. Not very sensitive. The reel feels cheap. IMO, get yourself a casitas or fuego ct off ebay and pick a good $100 rod.

Abu Garcia Revo X BaitCasting Reel Question ?
I had revo4 in x and sx, both were decent reels. They weren't noisy at all but the sx tends to backlash randomly.

Rapala Shadow Rap Shad issues
Maybe Rapala's quality have gone downhill. I have a few of the ripstop that have broken tails. I have original floaters from 20 years ago that still works fine.

Constant topwater action
Nice! The topwater action is picking up here in the CA delta.

Personal favorite reel brand
Lews ( I have ss1hl, ssg1hl, tournament mb, and mach II)

Lew’s Magnetic Braking
They work. I have Lews LFS and SLP. Still prefer the MB over them.

Frogging and topwater reel?
I use 6.3 to 7.1 for topwater lures like sammy, spook, gunfish, etc.. not the real big ones (over 1 oz lures). My rod is a 7' med with mod fast tip, 30 lb braid.

Has a bass ever taken away your rod and reel?
No bass but a striper took my 8 ft rod that wasn't secured well enough.
