I've never been a huge fisherman from a boat though, so maybe my thoughts are a little skewed that way.
Yeah and that's all the fishing I do really...there aren't any good rivers anywhere around where I live...when we go we mostly just catch jack, pickerel and the odd perch.

Would a guy be able to land a ten pound jackfish with a fly rod? Those reels spin both ways right? Not like a 'conventional' reel that locks up...I was told you just pull the line in by hand if you're in a boat. Whether that's true or not I have no idea.
