Outlet bait and tackle
I was receiving emails pretty much everyday since early November with clearance sales right up until this past Sunday. They might be "regrouping" after the year end clearance that @iabass8mentioned.

TW order did not go through...
As @cgolfsaid, they are very particular with shipping and billing addresses. In my experience's with TW they have to match or they won't ship. Too much fraud nowadays I guess. I had tried a few times to order some tackle and have it sent to my friends as birthday or xmas gifts.....no dice.

New Year's Bass Fishing Resolution
For me it's been the same for the last several years. To get my Dad out fishing. He's 87 now and sadly getting him out is getting tougher every year that passes by. I must admit though, his excuses for not going get better.

Best of youtube
I will watch just about anything fishing related. A lot of the Japanese video's are great and fun to watch. I will admit that I don't care for video's with loud music. Much rather just have the natural sounds. I also like a lot of what has already been mentioned. NDYakAngler, smallmouthcrush...etc. So much content out there and its fantastic. Some great youtube content from members here as well. @Bluebasser86has a great youtube channel with 267 video's currently. I enjoy watching his vids a lot. You can even see his dog every once in a while and also watch him fall out of his boat. I also enjoy @A-Jayvideo's. Some great stuff on there.

Winter Starts Today - Your Favorite Baits ?
Bass season ended end of October and our lakes started icing up yesterday. There was a moment of silence as I drove by heading to do more Xmas shopping. Going to be a long winter!!

Videos ?
I am using a GoPro Hero 4 and while it is certainly capable of shooting in higher resolution, I keep mine set at 1080p wide @60fps. I will say that by lowering to 30fps gives a sharper and cleaner image at dusk and night, I am happy enough with the 60fps and just leave it there. Mount wise I use both a chest mount and head/hat mount. The chest mount is nice but video's will include a lot of your hands, rod and reel making it very "busy". The head/hat mount probably gives the best perspective as you are filming what you are looking at (this can also be a negative when nature calls and you are looking down. But you can edit it out....if you remember.) When I first used the head mount I didn't realize how much I moved my head around. If you can control that then this might be the better option. For editing the GroPro Studio works decently but I use Adobe Premiere Pro as it gives much more control.

Crankbaits for shallow rocky river /creeks
Kvd 1.5 shallow might be a good option. Runs to 3 feet but you can control that a bit more line size and rod positioning.

I agree A-Jay. The other great part is that the original poster was last on 19 hours ago.

GoPro/Waspcam Battery Usage
I am unfamiliar with the Waspcam so I don't know how much power it would draw filming at 1080p @30fps with wifi turned on. Take a closer look at the camera's battery capacity and how much time you can get from it. What I can tell you, which might be helpful, is that my Gopro Hero 4 at 1080p @30fps with wifi turned on is rated to draw 1160mah for 1h40m. Now that is in perfect conditions. Outdoor temps and other settings will affect that time so my general rule of thumb has been 1000mah per hour to be on the safe side. My USB battery pack is 10,000mah which gives me 10 hours of run time. It is pretty small in size. Also bear in mind that the batteries and battery pack's capacity will diminish over time as they get older and with the charge/recharge cycles. Hope this helps some.

Christmas Shopping (rod and reel)
I have a few of the Lightning Shock rods and I really like them. They are all pretty much mod-fast. Great for the money. Another option that might be worth checking is the Fenwick Silverhawk II at Cabela's. They have been on sale for a couple weeks now for 50% off @ $49.99. Not sure what they have left but another option for you.

Daiwa reel size questions.
Sadly in my neck of the woods there are no retailers for Daiwa reels to compare so I am asking for a bit of help. I am currently fishing Shimano 50's, Core 100's and a 200E. I prefer to have something sized similar to the 50 or Core 100 and I have been wanting to try a Daiwa for a while now. How do the Daiwa Tatula CT and Tatula SV Tws compare in size to what I am currently fishing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
