In my reply you'll note several changes/additions to the form.
Obviously you're free to omit them from your results analyses, but I
thought you may want to consider the points they raise. Also, while
this is just my humble opinion, I feel the content of the 'survey'
doesn't truly adhere to the intent implied in the title "Fly vs Bait".
A few examples of what I mean, in #4 you might want to ask how many fly
rods/how many spin-bait rods. #5 might be better worded "In your
opinion...". #9 is rather obscure in intent. Do you mean a problem with
physically baiting the hook or are you referring to aesthetics,
morality, conscience, etc? #'s 11 and 12 are ludicrous in the context
of the purported intent as to the title. #23 might also include the
option of 'streamers' if this is to truly be a fly vs bait survey. And
finally you'll notice I added the option of 'Often' as a response to
several of the queries. Going through the order of 'Never, Rarely,
Sometimes, Always' I think leaves a void that many replies would fall
into, hence my adding 'Often' between 'Sometimes' and 'Always'.

I hope I haven't offended you with my input, that certainly wasn't my
intent. That aside I wish you Good Luck with your project!
