This is great stuff. Kind of makes my head spin... but great, never-the-less. :-) I love learning about these little details. It really challenges me to prepare, think things through and apply that knowledge to gain more experience. I can't image how long my learning curve would be without the internet (which touches on another one of your articles, Rob).

More questions... Are bass really line shy? I know trout are - but I have often assumed that bass are not as line shy as most other fish. Does it really make a difference. I have often wondered if line visibility makes a difference. I wonder about this because I figure that the bass's lateral line is going to pick up any line movement, regardless of visibility. I know how clear the water is might play into things - and maybe that's why I like fishing dirty water more. I also thought that if I'm getting a "reaction" bite, the visibility of the line isn't going to make much difference. Am I way off base here?
