Dowco boat cover.
I have one for my Z20 but I don’t have any idea of what you mean. Are you referring to the one that goes under the motor? Maybe they have changed as mine just has male and female ends and tightens with the ratchet.

Making skirts flare
What you have in the pic is a lion collar jig. You can wire tie them with a little practice. You can get more flair if you make a channel in the lead close to the head and put your wire in it. If you have trouble with the wire you can use thread to get everything positioned then put the wire on. I sometimes do that when I have several different colors to put on. If you can, don’t put the weed guard in until last. That will make everything much easier.

Ways To Work a Spook
A long time ago a local spook expert showed a friend and I 5 ways to work a spook. He said he could work it 17 different ways and would show us 5 more after we mastered the first 5. I could only get 4 of them so I never got any more lessons. The closest to what you mentioned is to get it pointed at yourself and with the rod pointed down give it a snap. If done correctly the bait will do a little dive and back up.

KVD OR BPS PLATINUM BATCASTER
No I don’t. Historically he switched companies regularly. That is why I asked. They may have come from the same plant.

Making skirts flare
Look up puff ball jigs and how to tie them. You don’t need anything extra. This one is round living rubber and silicone.

Most Sensitive Jig Rod ~$300?
In that price range you could have DVT build you one. I have several rods that I have used for shaky. Some I considered to be very good until I had a custom rod built. It is so much better than any of the others that I have commissioned another rod just like it.

Spooling yourself vs shop spooler
It would take me 6 bucks to drive to the nearest place that can spool line. My wife does a great job of holding the spool and putting on the tension that I need, no charge, no gas used.

Where did the old timers go?
IB Raul used to drive me nuts with all of the big fish that he took for granted while those of us North struggled for smaller fish. I was so jealous.
