I agree that a jetboat would be nice as one can go about anywhere on the river.

if money wasnt an issue Hmmmm I guess I would use what I am useing now and then start planning a whole lot of flathead trips around the country grin but a ABU 7000 series would top the list with a custom made rodand a jet boat like the one whiskers had last yr at franklin derby days sweeet boat

Custom Abu 7001's on a variety of self built rods. I don't think there is a ONE ideal rod but the one I already use is pretty darn close.
