You've got the right idea... Experiment... And keep "old faithful" in your back pocket if you need her.... That's the only way to learn and get better... Push yourself and your knowledge.... But go pop a few to keep you sane....

My buddy is on some shallow water perch casting ultra light spinners....
Fast and furious slabs are awesome....
