Like others have said, based on my experience - if one is going to lay up with a pontoon, my recommendation would be a North Fork (Scadden).
For a couple of extra bucks it is well worth it.
With that said, I have a friend that was a wanna-be flyfisher. He bought a Scadden Madison River (I believe) in 2008. He used it once when we went west - he packed it home and never used it again. it is like new. I'm sure he'd take about 40% or more off of retail. It has many extras too. If interested drop me a PM.
