actually a bubble fly rig is very useful.. before I started "fly" fishing in the traditional sense by using a full fly fishing rig I used bubble fly... couple of reasons for that.. one.. money.. I had spinning rigs already... just add the bubble and some flies and you are fishing with a "fly".. and since I was not sure what I wanted to do or get I did not want to spend a lot of money on a fly rod rig and end up not liking it...
to me it was an easy transition to fishing with a fly rod by having used a bubble fly rig.. meaning.. I got to see and feel what it was like using flies on a rig I was comfortable with before trying to learn a whole new way of doing things..
and one last thing... I used a bubble fly rig to let my then 7 year old grandson do some fly fishing... small spin casting rig.. wb tied on.. and let him cast and reel in all he wanted.. he never caught anything but he had fun...
oh.. and one last comment.. a question on this forum was once asked.. and that is.. in fly fishing is the angler only suppose to use a fly rig.. or is fly fishing actually fishing with a fly?? [
