i had a couple lew's spinning reels and was less than impressed. i have 4 of their casting reels, so i'm no hater in that regard. just think that for the $ you can get a much better reel than the lew's spinning. i have no experience with that Abu so can't offer much there.
daiwa tatula 6'10" MHF. can be found on sale for about $110 right now. i've tried many rods that were well over that price range and none of them suited me better than the tatula.
that all looks good to me man, nice lineup. as for the deep diving cranks question, i'd probably throw them on the 7'0" Berkley Lightning Rod Shock Medium Heavy Moderate fast if it were me.
i rarely if ever tie on a leader. if i do, it's usually when in the river and i want to break the line off if need be. i use 15lb on spinning gear and anywhere from 15-40lb on casting gear. mostly all power pro and i've found the best price is usually when they have it on sale at Dick's sporting goods.
Poor picture quality, but I received my 2nd NRX yesterday! 852C for T Rigs and Small jigs. Going to pair it up with one of the Lew's Pro Z's i have. Going to try and get everything together for a family photo and post in the show your stuff thread here soon.
terminator makes some that don't have a band, they have a rubber collar so to speak that slides on easily. rather than wire tying, you could get some very small zip ties and tie them on while on the water and it would be very quick in comparison.
