true... using the bubble fly method is fishing a fly on a spinning rig.. but.. as was my case.. it is a way to use a fly to see if you like it.. and gives time to save up a bit for your first fly outfit..
remember.. my first fly outfit was the shakespeare rig and everything (rod, reel, flies, flyline, backing, leader) cost me 20.00 at wallyworld.. and have to say I beat that rig good.. and its like a Timex.. takes a licking and keeps on ticking... but.. I know these rigs have gone up in price to 50 - 60 dollars..
point being.. until he is able to afford a decent setup the bubble fly may be a good alternative for him to use.. but.. as you said sis..
dont put a fly reel with any kind of line (fly or mono) on a spinning rig.. its not the same and it aint gonna work right.. [
