I'll tell ya'll one legitimate use I do have for the reel--I have a couple of acquaintances who do absolutely nothing but fly fishing from kayaks for red's in shallow water. They always fish Mule Slough at POC, and enter from the same oilfield cut. I have a flats cat (they don't even approve of any boat with a motor on it) and am going to get there one morning before dawn, mount the 50W to the 130 pound rod with the big foot rollers, and drop a pre-cast block of concrete weighing about a hundred pounds with the line tied to it. Then when I see them paddling up, I'm going to lock down the drag and put as much bend in the rod as I possibly can without having a heart attack, and start struggling and walking all around the boat making gutteral grunting sounds--Oh, and I'll wear a belt and harness for good measure.
