I've had that exact Citizen you linked for 10 years and I like it a lot. I recommend changing the strap on it though. You can also find it much cheaper on the gray market as well.

Shimano Nasci FC on a TFO professional rod should be right at $200. Falcon coastals are good too, just a little on the slow side for thowing artificial. I don't care for prepackaged combos; the rods are usually garbage.

OnX uses county/parish assessor lines, which are laughably bad

I prefer my shimano tranx 150 over my daiwa coastal. Neither has given me any problems, but I've had the tranx longer and it has held up well in the salt. It's also a $50 cheaper than the daiwa. As for a rod, you can't go wrong sticking with st croix if you remember the specs on the one you just lost.

Makes since that the most popular sizes would sell out first

I've stopped buying shrimp imitation like Vudu and DOA and just tie on what I already have in my box like a sparkle beetle or shrimp creole matrix shad.

My only complaint with my motoguide is the remote, the motor has been flawless. But where the lanyard attaches is a real weak point. Minn kota has the better remote.

I've had the Plano A-series 2.0 quick top for a few years love it. It's held up to heavy use is salt water
