EASIEST Braid to Fluoro Knot ever!
Definitely seems simple as compared to some of the many leader / mainline connection knot options available today. And not to be a big downer but any type of over hand deal made in nylon line makes me nervous (insert I've had some failure with them in the past). Additionally, tying braid directly to ( in this case 'around' a single strand nylon loop) has been somewhat problematic as well. Does 'OK' in the bigger tests of both nylon & braid, but once the sizes start to shrink down to under 8-10 lb test nylon & 10 or 15 lb test braid, so does connections strength and reliability. YMMV ~ I'd advise - fish with caution May be better off going with a loop to loop deal - been doing that in the fly fishing venue forever. A-Jay

Triton aluminum bass boats
Last spring I took delivery on a new Lund 1875 Pro-V bass boat - it has an aluminum IPS2 hull. It has been a fantastic rig. Safe, Solid, great storage & fantastic fish ability. There may be boat owner's as happy with their rigs as I am with this Lund. But none happier . . . . A-Jay

Somewhat new to bass fishing
Hello Jimmy and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ In open waters I like to wacky rig a stick bait and if there's cover around, I'm Texas rigging it. As for line on that set up you've listed, I like 10-15 lb braid & 8-10lb a mono or fluorocarbon leader. A-Jay

Wide gap hooks that wont bend?
For a non-flipping hook, the Owner Wide Gap Plus Black Chrome Hooks are my go to for next level beyond standard wire Gamakatsu . Also the "superline" hooks by Gamakatsu are pretty stout. A-Jay

Classic vs AOY
That's a tough call. Many would say that the AOY is harder to attain and they may be right. But there are some really good sticks, who did win one or several AOY's, but never won a single classic; despite many many, many years of qualifying & fishing the event. The following is a list of famous BASS anglers who are Non-Classic winners along with the number of classics they competed in: Bill Dance 8 Greg Hackney 13 Shaw Grigsby 15 Jimmy Houston 15 Gerald Swindle 15 Zell Roland 16 Arron Martins 17 Tommy Biffle 19 Gary Klein 30 !
