It's great learning new things.  That's a great way to set up a spinning rod.  So much different then using straight mono!!

Kevin Skovenski, I got that covered!  I sense a road trip a few hours north will be in the works!

Nice.. there will be a difference for sure!  When I first started using braid, the first thing I noticed was my knot that my dad taught me to tie when I was growing up ( I guess they call it the fisherman's knot and I think they also call it the Berkley knot too ) it was great using mono... didn't work for braid!  For me I found it would slip.  Found out the hard way :)

My go to for braid is the Palomar knot.  It's a great knot and easy to learn.  I do some others but that's a great knot to do with braid!

Kevin Skovenski... Only one way to find out!  I'm sure there is something to be caught in those lakes.

Neat!!  looks like something that could be in a Jurassic Park movie!
