Wow guys, good to hear, as I've always wanted to try fly fishing. A guy at work brought his setup for me to try in our warehouse, and it was a blast casting.

As for the stripping basket, is that necessary? I was thinking of just stripping line and letting it float to my left in the water.

Finally, here's an important question. Does fly fishing off your kayak seem to provide any advantage over a traditional baitcaster or spinning reel setup with a swimbait? do you guys notice whether or not fishing OTF yields better results at all?

I want to pick up a 6 or 8 wt setup at that swap meet coming up this Saturday. Hopefully I find something good and inexpensive since I'm just trying this out.
