Tru-Turn?
I like true turn hooks and still use them for texas rigged worms. I sharpen them first though because they are dull right out of the package. I use extra wide gap for flukes and tubes.

Split-Shotting Soft Plastics
I like to split shot Zoom trick worms with a small shot with good results. A fluke works good too. Just curious, what kind of tube is that? It looks like a solid body type.

Buying Older Stuff Brand New
This summer I bought two Avid baitcast rods from a local shop for reduced price. I knew they were older models but for the price I thought they were worth it, and I really wanted them. When I registered them with St Croix, I checked the date code. Both were manufactured in 2005. I don't care though, they were both in brand new condition and fish like a dream. Good luck!

Line Choice for Lipless Cranks
I also use Berkley 100% fluorocarbon. I don't have to worry about weeds either, because the lakes I fish don't have alot of weedbeds.

How many casts will you make to one spot?
I have never counted casts, but I have spent as much as an hour on one spot that I believe may hold fish. I start on top then work my way down with different baits and it has paid off with some very nice fish.
