Gotta state a price to get pertinent advice, but here's a start:

Shimano Citica CI200E, CH50MG, Curado CU200E7 or Core

one more thing is that on the jig/worm set up i do not even own a jig ove 1/2 and the lightest is a 1/8oz sinnker,hook,and 6 inch worm (whatever that weighs)

for the powell 733C, mount a curado E7. besides being my favorite overall reel in terms of castability, handling, smoothness, etc., the green color of the reel matches perfectly with the green accents on your rod.  :) i have the powell 703C and paired with an E7, it is sweet.

a reel for your powell 684CB is tougher. i like a 5:1 ratio reel for all of my crankin' but i think 7:1 is much better for jerkbaits and topwater. perhaps a 6:1 reel would be the best choice here: either a daiwa fuego or a shimano citica E200. for me, my fiberglass powell CBs are much more comfortable with a really low profile reel because the reel seat is kinda thick which is why i recommended the fuego and citica and not a chronarch 50MG.

set up one Abu Garcia EXT Pro 6:5:1

set up two still looking for mine, thought I found it but when I changed the gears out the spool sizes weren't the same. Probably will end up with a Revo Winch, although I am really infatuated with round reels right now and may find a EXT 5600 for that set up.

Not...

If you can find the CH50MG for around $165, there's nothin'

to talk about. Buy two and be happy.

for the cranking set up id go with a zillion crazy cranker and for the jig and worm set up u gotta go with the CH50MG

I have those exact rods, what are the odds ;D ;D I have the citica 200e on both of them.  Talk about some great rods!!
