Yeah the Scotty fly rod holders didn't seem/or look to be heavy enough to hold the large fly reels I have. I feel ya on the fishing record!!
I have caught alot of diffrent salt water species on fly rod, spanish macks, sea trout, cobia, lady fish, blues, stripers, barracuda, snapper etc... and even flounder on fly. I have yet to get the ones I really want permit, bonefish, and tarpon. These species are extremely tough to catch on a fly. Not because they wont take a fly, they will, but they are difficult to stalk on the flats and super spooky. The Florida Keys will challenge you if you are using a fly rod. It will take an experinced fly fisherman and humble him.
