No. Finally made it out today for the first time this year. Shakedown.

Im guessing 8 or so off Sandy this morning

You know what... this has been great. I typically get about 10-12 calls a week. That is now zero. I love it.

The snaps allow me to change an entire spread of baits (8-12 rods) on the boat rather quickly. The other thing to consider is all of my rods that are running stick baits on them have leaders so if i retied them each and every time by the end of a couple trips i would need to add new leaders to them also. And FYI you are not losing any action by adding a small snap. #1 size work for me

yes

#1 and #2 are what you are looking for

No need for a section of mono. Use Scotty Planer Board releases and clip directly to the braid backer. No issue. https://www.fishusa.com/Scotty-Power-Grip-Plus-Planer-Board-Release-Clips

Honestly they are very similar. The Cold Water reels have some simple upgrades to the them. Either choice would be good for you however whichever way you decide I would suggest buying the high speed models. https://okumafishingusa.com/collections/reels/products/cold-water https://okumafishingusa.com/collections/reels/products/convector-1
