Best mono as leader
If 2lb heavier line would have kept a fish from snapping your line, your drag is way too tight.

You might lose lures due to the 2lb difference. If you lose fish the problem isnt a 2 lb difference.

BPS Crank'n Stick Users ?
No experience with BPS Crankn Sticks but my M/M Berkley Lightning Rod has done well with those baits. That said, if I was to do it again, I'd give strong consideration to the Lews Carbon Fire Rod. I handled this one in store when picking up a H version and the MH/M has excellent bend to it. https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/lews-carbon-fire-speed-stick-casting-rod-19lewu7crbnfrspdsrod/19lewu7crbnfrspdsrod

Daiwa customer service?
I wonder if the price of the rod had anything to do with it? As a customer you gain a lot of leverage with a $300 purchase. If only Megabass would sell me a rod for say $50 I could test this theory ... ?

Can't complain about Yo Zuri Hybrid as a leader. Then again Im a firm believer its the best bang for your buck line around.

Daiwa customer service?
Did you lose the whole guide or just the insert? I can see how they would not accept the whole guide under warranty or be willing to just send out a replacement.

Which Curado K gear ratio
I'd go 6 speed. But then again i prefer a slower reel as I tend to speed up my reeling once i connect with some fish. I wouldn't underspool. In my mind it would affect casting distance ... it very well may not but I would be wondering if it does on every cast.

Smoother Reel Than Abu Black Max
Thats my point exactly. This budget reel manages to be smoother on display than say a Tatula. In operation it sure isnt smoother nor will it stay smooth longer. But what makes it smoother out the box?

Smoother Reel Than Abu Black Max
Why is it that no reel feels smoother than a store display model Abu Black Max??? Maybe its only the case at the Academy I frequent but the display models feel unbelievably smooth to the point its made me wonder if changes are made to the display models to make them crank smoother.
