New connecting knot for braid & fluorocarbon...
I would no trust using the Albright knot or any knot for that matter when you cinch it down that tight. The braid is going to cut right through the fluoro with it that tight. Also if you didn't hear he specifically said "If your line breaks it will be at the knot."

What to throw when ?
Baby Bass colored fluke! They will always hit a fluke when they are chasing baitfish or fry.

how upset do you get when you lose a fish?
If I loose 1 then I don't get mad unless it is in a tourny and I go to lift it in the boat and shakes off in the air. If I keep missing fish after fish then I can get pretty mad. When I do loose a couple fish then i start to fish even harder and will do whatever it takes to catch that fish.

Bird on the end of your line?
I was burning a swimbait once and a loon came darting through the water to get it. Seeing that loon underwater almost made me crap myself.

Jig on straight braid?
If I am not fishing in clear water or around any rocks then I will use straight braid.

Shimano vs. Abu Garcia
If you are going to get a Quantum then you need to get a reel from the PT series if you want a quality reel that is going to last you a while.

Shimano vs. Abu Garcia

jig with brush hog as trailer
I prefer to use a baby brush hog as a trailer for my jigs. I sometimes use a brush hog but I cut it in half so it isn't near as big.

Shimano vs. Abu Garcia
If you are only looking for sponsorships because you want some sweet deals on gear then you are in for a wild ride! What sponsors really want form you is to promote their product in a professional manner. As for the reels i choose niether because I would go with BPS for less expensive baitcasters becuase of the Pro Q's. I would also go with quantum too because of their accurist reels which are great. You can find the old accurist on ebay for as low as $30 new.

fishing muddy water
Most fish will be in shallow water and really tight to cover. I would slow roll a black/blue chatterbait right next to the cover and also try pitching black/blue jigs to the cover as well. Make sure it is a bulky jig with a trailer that is going to cause a lot of water displacement to help the fish find it.

Carolina Rigs?
Use the SK 3X line of plastics. They float very well.

Like to flip?
I have 2 Pro Q in 7.1:1 that I flip with and a Pflueger Supreme 6.3:1 that i also flip with.

top water when it counts
Why would you take the chance of not catching some of the fish in an area just because you are afraid of missing some. You don't miss all the fish that strike topwaters. If you do miss one then just throw a senko to the spot that you missed it and 90% of the time you will catch it.
