I've tried it for trout in W.Va. streams where I grew up.

I've also seen it recommended as a way to toss light, soft-plastic baits to spooky reds and bones in S. Fla.

I currently use a 8.5 ft. steelhead rod to do the samething, the extra distance means more shots at spooky, shallow water reds. This combination is also good for tossing live bait a longer distance without killing it or having fly off the hook.

I've also used a bubble-type bobber to lob flies to trout under dock lights. Sometimes they'll tear up a fly, but no other artifical (live shrimp usually work, though).
