Thank's everyone, for the compliments on the rod holder's. I went out today to take them for a test drive, and they worked better than I could of hoped,I was able to adjust them into the position that I needed regardless of the way that the drift had me going, or using two poles. And yes FG I'm one step ahead of you, I already have a PVC tube that I have made a larger cut out to fit my fly rod. As for my pontoon It is not a TU but it is made by the same company,and sold through Costco, I know that it is not the quality of a Scadden, but I'm trying to work my way up. As far as the reel I really like it, the drag is as smooth as silk, and consistent, you can cast a mile with it and it holds a huge amount of line,not to mention the huge variation of line weights that it will handle. However you do need to feather the line when you cast or you can end up with a nasty backlash that you don't notice until you have tripped your bail and started your retrieve, the heavier your lure , the worse it is! But it only took a couple of casts to figure it out, overall I plan to buy another. I would not be afraid to recommend them!
