Tackle trays/storage
The Plano 3700 is 2 inches deep and will be fine for those divers. I think they are 10.00 and work fine

Knot for light fluoro?
There are many good knots, but the best one is the one you can tie perfectly every time. For me: Improved Uni San Diego jam * Wet the line and know before you tighten Do not tug on the knot to tighten I also use the exact same exact set up

Braid with Crankbaits?
I have a couple CB setups with FC and a couple with Braid and FC leader. 832 sinks significantly better than the other braids I have used and is almost iden to to the FC. I will be swapping over my FC to braid

Not at all, just use 10 wraps for braid

Knot suggestions
If you can slide the two apart you are tying it properly, you just didn't cut the tags close enough ...it is a jam knot

KastKing Fortis Braid
Thanks for sharing! While it looks promising, I think I will give it the Summer and see what the feedback is in the Fall So far, I would need a good reason to move away from the 832, smackdown and gamma

Knot suggestions
You should be a little more specific. Is it braid , FC or mono and are you interested in just at the terminal end or joining lines. Lucky for you, if you want to keep it simple learn the uni knot. Then the double uni makes sense for joining lines. The improved uni is a step up for terminal tackle...... After mastering that, you can expand to the polamar, San Diego and such, but the Uni will suit all your needs. lately I have been doubling the line and tying the uni with bigger baits.

Anyone Still Using Berkley Havoc Baits?
Talking with the gents at Wally World and BPS, they are considered by many to be the bottomed of the barrel..A good thing if you like them, since it keeps the price down

Need a new go to squarebill
There isn't a bad one mentioned above, but last week I threw the new dredgers and I was really empressed with everything about them. I suspect they are really going to catch on this Summer. The weighted bill gets them down fast and keeps them in the zone longer

Spinning vs Casting
I see spi gear for light finesse techniques. If you want to be able to fig two set-ups, yes. last year, that was my thinking so I purchased another and now wish I had gone with a light weigh baitcaster. I am finding that accuracy trumps all

my experience with power pro braid
I have PP on two rigs. If it wasn't inexpensive and carried at Wally World, I doubt it would be as popular. I use 832 for anything I want to sink.

too little "give"?
Never heard about knot break offs du to a GLX.....especially on long cast. i think you have a knot problem. it could be moisture it could be the type of knot ( palomar) it could be tugging on the hook to tighten the knot. try doubling the line and tie a uni, moistened with chap stick. it you want to sell the GLX, I'm your huckleberry!
