David, I see you are from Ames! I had my Hobie Outback on Ada Hayden Lake this past summer. There happened to be a large group of kayakers there that day. They had a variety of paddle-yaks, and even the stand up flat boards (can't think what they are called just now). They were amazed at how fast I was cruising around without using paddles! I've fly-fished out of it a number of times (which is the reason I bought it), on Saylorville Lake, the backwater ponds below Saylorville Spillway, Big Creek, Diamond Lake, and Grays Lake. It is FUN!
I just pile the stripped line in my lap or on the hatch between my legs. Doesn't seem to get tangled much, but you do need to be aware of where your line is...especially if you are targeting bigger fish like carp, catfish or bass that will take line from you!
