It looked so good I lunged at the computer out of instinct!

Seriously, it looked really nice. This leads me to a question:

When deciding between waddington shanks and tubes, what factors need to be considered?

And Second, on waddington tubes, is anyone using split rings to attach the trailing hook? I've seen firewire, shock tippet wire, maxima and junction tubing, but never a split ring... just wondering out loud.
