Morning Fishing, Avoiding Wind
I love fishing during the time just before dawn when sunrise is still way off but I have to leave home by 04:30 to do it. Spinner baits and buzz baits until the sun gets bright are my go to baits.

Towing Tin Rigs
The big deal is not towing it is stopping. My wife pulled my Champion 206 to South Texas several times with a Ford Winstar mini van. There was no problem. However, the trailer had brakes.

trailer question
First thing I would do is jack up a wheel and give it a spin. If it spins freely and quietly move to the other one. If both are quite I would not worry. If there is any noise either replace the bearings or hire someone to do it. You can find videos on how to do it. If you have to replace then do both sides with bearings and races.

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.
