I know you say in the video that you keep your lb line under 10. I currently have a 15 lb set up on braid with a Ned rig constantly attached. Its a baitcaster for my boy but I do use it. Is that setup just an overall poor choice? I have a few minutes left in your video so I apologize if you addressed this. 

Good times. Fishing with my boy is the best!

I have never used the screw lock style hooks. You will likely cover this but what are the benefits beyond holding the bait on? Are they necessary? 

This is awesome. Great idea. 

Is that one of the Evo's??? Looks great. I have been using one Z-man shad for several fishing trips now. Unreal how much of a beating they can take. 

Have never thrown a blade bait but hearing more about them recently. Need to give it a try. 

Do line softeners damage reels??

Not in Washington!

What if I'm using braid to... kidding. Great video!!
