I like that. Should make for a quicker hook set with less effort. Shipping invoice says delivery by Monday end if day. Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday (provided no call ins) I'm back on the water!
Just to add to this, starting with 1 is a smart move on the off chance that he does not want to continue with it. Being stuck with 3 combos is harder on the wallet than just one
Before you rig it that way, see how it swims with it rigged horizontal. The Rage Craws for example put off tons of action when burned back. Makes your jig versatile.
A lot depends on the bait your throwing. Cranks, swim jigs and other moving baits, the added buzz, dives me up the wall. Pitching, not so much.
I prefer the Super Slick in Timer brown. For me, the reduced noise is worth the extra
Shaw Grigsby knot. I use it for everything. I'll try and find the you tube video but I'm on my phone right now. It's very easy to tie. I have yet to break it using 40 pound braid. My line breaks before the knot does.
It's one of the knots that won't slip out. The harder you pull the tighter it gets.
How fast were you fishing your plastics? Slow? off the bottom?

I baised by Squarebill fishing off what Rick Clunn does. Fall or cooler weather has been the best for me. I usually run Squarebills fast. Hot weather I have better luck going slow.
Unfortunately when your run a leader with less breaking strength than your main braid line, it will break under your braids breaking point. That's the crappy trade off when using a leader. I run 40# braid and a 20# fluoro leader when I need one. That ups the breaking strength and most factory hooks will bend loose. The KVD elites usually don't for me. But several veterans have said "if your not loosing lures, your not fishing the right places". Kinda why I fish jigs more than cranks. 3.50 is easier on my wallet than 5-10.
That's a topic that could be debated for years. I've had days where fish didn't seem to be turned off by braid in clear water and days they did. The Alabama rig has shiny wire and fish seem to hit it all the time.
This isn't gospel, but gin clear water a leader would be better. Stained water not so much. If your fishing stained water with no leader around brush, rocks etc, check your line for knicks often.
Depends on the water clarity and type of cover. If its weeds, grass or pads, I go straight braid. Sticks and rocks, I use a leader for some abrasion resistance.

The 705CB will be less forgiving with treble hooks, but like DH said, adjust your drag. I went from mono to braid for cranking and learned the hard way with too heavy of drag set.
My reason for going with braid while cranking was to get my cranks back. I got tired of loosing 5-10 dollar cranks. Braid lets me get most back.
