    Great job on the repaint. Looked awesome. Terrible losing your favorite bait. I risked my life for my favorite bait last fall(can't swim lol and went in after it) Fishing from shore hung it in a tree branch that hung down near the water. Waded out to my chest to the edge of a drop off and attempted to cut the huge branch down. Judy as it was about to be cut the bait fell out of the tree and started floating down river. I got it before it floated away

    I have heard some big swim bait guys say to use a heavy mono maybe just a heavy mono leader to prevent those braided line snap offs. I have snapped off a few jigs and other baits on straight braid myself and run a 20lb leader now. It seems like solved the problem for me. I certainly not a big swim bait guy so not sure how good that info. is. Just seen a few big swim bait guys recommend it that are local to me here in DFW.

    You should order a super strong magnet and go back to that lake and drag it around the area where you lost it. Me and my brother always pull in lures that people lost with our magnets, you would be surprised at the amount of tackle that I have gotten for free. I am in Baltimore md, but if I was in Texas I would go retrieve it for you at no cost. Like I said Amazon has those magnets and most of them come with 30 to 50 foot of rope.😉
