Fished a GSB1321M last season, built so it weighs a little under 12 oz finished. Can't say enough good things about it.

Tried TA clips and found that the V shape caused knot failure when using a knot that put two loops around the clip (trilene knot).

Liked these Wearbar studs when used in hard rubber soled boots.

Did great with small Musso darter-clones (albeit on sub 20lb fish). I think Don (AfterHours) has a version coming out soon that will be worth a look.

Berkley Vanish Fluoro leader material is garbage.

Used a Simms wading staff that seemed great, but didn't hold up to saltwater.
