You are correct, I am not saying that a combo rod is a well made smooth operating tool by no means. More like a Geo Metro when I would rather be driving a Porche. For fish in High Altitude Mountain lakes to be far from shore is not uncommon at all. Many times you are basically fishing a lake in a canyon where the side walls are against you or there are pines right against you, the water drops straight off about 40 or so feet out and thats where the fish cruise.
Also a spinner will 8 out of 10 times put fish on where as a fly is a little bit less productive. I am a very competitive fly fisherman. Not against anyone else but between myself and the fish. I will find a way to get fish to the fly , though my buddies may already have theirs on the campfire cooking. There is a place for the combo rods, maybe not in my pack but I understand the reason why.
