I have one and I absolutely love it. They don't get as much attention as they should. I have never had one break on me and I feel that they are very light and sensitive for the price (especially when on sale)
It would be best if you laid out the parts in the order you take them off so that you don't have a mess. Another thing that might help is to take a video of yourself taking it apart so when your putting it together and can't figure out why you have an extra piece you can just watch the video.
I would say rattle and heres why:
The whopper popper is already a pretty "aggressive" lure if you know what I mean. It is supposed to make a disturbance and get the fishes attention. Adding on the rattles will just enhance that. Just my .02 though.
It really depends on what you mean by "Master the bait caster" After a couple weeks I could consistently cast with very few backlashes, about a year later I began learning how to skip, I still don't feel like I've "mastered" the bait caster though.
