I was given a Curado DC for my birthday. I haven’t used it much but so far I like it. I think I will buy another one.

Best rod for Jigs and crankbaits
I have never had a rod that would do a good job on a 1/2 oz jig and not be too stiff for crank baits. If I were in your situation I would buy the rod to match what I would be doing most and get by with the other application. However, someone may be familiar with a rod that I don’t know of which will do both jobs. Good luck. I hope you find it.

Removing corrosion from prop and repainting
You might be seeing calcium deposits. Try some hydrochloric acid (toilet bowl cleaner will work) in a small area and see if it helps. Around here we get lots of it. I use it on my boat and motor regularly to keep it off.

Buying and reselling fishing gear
The only place that I know is the Bass Pro catalog outlet. Rods are sketchy since a lot of them have had the tips broken off. But several area small shops buy and resell referb reels. I talked to a guy in there with an arm load of reels. He said he had bought and resold over 400 through his shop in a neighboring town.

Does anyone use spoons?
I make my own so I carry a bunch. They are great for vertical jigging as well as making long casts to surfacing fish.

In need of fish finder(s)!
You really need to do some research and get some hands on. The bigger the screen the easier they are on you. A gps opens a whole new world so research that also. The flea market here has good deal when guys are trading up.

Soft plastics storage boxes
I have mine loose in plastic boxes. Most of mine are homemade so there is no bag. I tried keeping Zman stuff in bags but it stuck together and got flat.

Towing with a 1/2 ton truck....
My issue is all of the Chevy and GMC dealers are only stocking the 3.23 and ordering one like I usually do doesn’t seem to be an option right now. The engine doesn’t concern me it’s the axle.
