Is bed fishing ethical?
Here in Michigan, the tournament guys lobbied hard for year round bass fishing in Michigan. The DNR relented with one caveat. Catch and Release from Jan.1st to the third weekend in May for most of the state. This in effect helps to protect the spawn and let us fish all year round. The tournament guys either had to change their format or remain complaining because they still have to wait until June to catch and keep bass.

Fishing Rods
Fish on!! If it works for you that's all that matters. I believe the Ugly Stick has a soft tip, which is good for the baits you mentioned.

What is an inside edge?
From my perspective(fishing from the bank), the inside edge would be the grass line facing the shore and the outside edge would be facing open water. I could be totally off base on this, but that is how I define the edges of a grass line. From a boat it would be the opposite.

What did this to my Senko?
Could be spawning bass guarding a nest. They will grab the end of it to move it, when you set the hook you get half and the fish has half. I have also experienced this with small walleye.

Braid on casting reel
Glad you asked this question, having recently started using bait casters, I wondered if the wet hand thing was because of the braid. Never noticed the water accumulation on my spinning gear{which is also spooled with braid} As far as the bleeding goes, Daiwa J8 out bleeds them all.IMO
