That's the problem, we all had one when we were little, now that we are grown up and fished several years, we thend to get a little more pickie. As far as situations with a cliff or trees behind you, ROLL CAST. It is alot easier than you think. You just got to be sure and lift your arm and rod straight above you allowing your line to hang right next to your body or even slightly behind you, then point the tip where you want to go with force KABOOM! Whip it, whip it good.
If you don't get the line out of the water next to you, you get a mess. If you are using heavy flies then point the tip out to the side so you don't get hit.
I still think that the combos might be great for you children, but I think as adult you are beyond that.
P.S. I also had the Eagle Claw, great spinning outfit, terrible for a fly.
I still say Tools of the trade, a different tool for a different job.
