Spin/Fly Combo Advice
#2
I wouldn't go cheap for his first introduction into fishing. Poor quality gear for beginners tends to leave a bad taste in their mouth.

I'm no fly fisherman, so I really can't speak to that. Flygoddess, Dryrod, and a few others are well versed on that topic.

In regards to the spinning tackle, i'd go for a quality lite or ultra light combo. If you're back packing and camping, he will appreciate the shorter rod length, which is typically in the 5'6 range. In streams and such, it will handle about anything you run into, when paired with a quality braid line like Power Pro.

Check out this link:

That is a very high quality and user friendly combo that is held in high regard from beginners to pro's. It's very hard to beat from a quality and pricing stand point. Add 6 lb Power Pro braid line and you've got a really nice outfit.
