Need some finesse jig recommendations please
i like to use "finesse cut skirt" jigs as opposed to "finesse" jigs, Siebert Sniper jig is amazing but im also a fan of the Santone Lures Texas Finesse jig

Swimbait Identification
no idea about the exact product but it has design influences from two Bobby Garland products: the Stroll'R (tail) and the Slab Hunt'R (ribs)

Lure Identification (Crank Bait)
sounds like a killer deal to me, especially since it is a "shallow" and "deep" diving bait with multiple joints, is this what being versatile means?

Lure Identification (Crank Bait)
this is what ive found so far: https://bigamart.com/product/sougayilang-fishing-lures-shallow-deep-diving-swimbait-crankbait-fishing-wobble-multi-jointed-hard-baits-for-bass-trout-freshwater-and-saltwater-8pcs-pack/ the fourth picture of the page seems to match, apparently they are from Sougayilang, but im skeptical Edit: they are actually from Yongzhi, according to the Sougayilang webstore

Anybody tried these reels?
the reel is $99 retail, currently on sale for $49, they only sell two reels (7 products in total), a baitcaster and a "digital display" reel with a line counter the company could be new in the market, but it would take me some time to gain any sort of trust with them at this stage if thats the case BUT, many of the "5 star reviews" are within recent intervals with multiple reviews on the same days, not to mention the fact that only a select few reviews even mention actually using the reel before reviewing so, if it was me, it's a no go maybe this goes back to the "Reviews" thread but i hate the "well it looks good out the box (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)" type of review

Combo For Skinny Creeks?
the pflueger trion is my ultralight of choice for creek fishing, handles both panfish and creek smallmouths really well i use the smallest Mr. Crappie panfish jighead size and a Mr. Crappie 2" grub (electric chicken is the best color in my creek)

Cheap Reels
if i might add, the Lew's carbon fire, for being an $80-90 graphite reel, holds up pretty well, it was my first baitcasting reel and i had gotten it on sale for $50, it doesn't "twist" nearly as bad as other graphite reels, many hours of practice in that reel with 15lb mono the slx is my favorite $100 on the market, the Lew's LFS is a microscopicly close second

Your Total Years
maybe 12 years, im 20 now, im sure that number won't stop growing for a whiiiile caught my first bass with my late father in my childhood community golf course pond, had a cheap spincast setup with a ballhead and tiny ika jig, he gave it to me because i wouldn't stop asking him what he was doing, accidentally casted into a huge weed pile, reeled in a helmet sized ball of weeds, and as my dad went to remove my mess, the weeds CAME ALIVE, a 2.5 pound bass

Drop shot rig and poor distance
i use a lh handle for spinning, hold the weight of the rig in your left hand and backhand cast it, think of it like a frisbee toss with your right hand (obviously, DO NOT let go of the rod) 1/4 oz weight does well for me
