Yeah I hear you, I have a few things FNF related myself in my tackle stash. I have used them however and even caught a few fish.
Sometimes it is better to stay away from the videos, especially for easily influenced folks such as myself. I absolutely refuse to watch videos of guys throwing, big, expensive hard bodied swimbaits. I am afraid if I watch them, I'll end up with a swimbait rod, special reel, expensive line, and a half-dozen $200 swim baits.
