Hugh1 0 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hiya everyone. I was just wondering if anyone knows if I can use a fly as bait with a standard rod. Not a fly rod. I have been given a box of flys and also started making my own. If u can fly with a standard rod and reel what kind of setup should I use? I would like to be flying for trout and redfin if it can be done. Thanks in advance for your time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
archerfish 685 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 G'day Hugh1Have tried a couple of times with a fly tied below a bubble float (to give some casting weight).Didn't catch anything, but in theory this should work if the fish are co-operative... :whistle: Hugh1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hugh1 0 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Thanks mate. Is there any way of actually using fly line on a eggbeater ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
archerfish 685 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 IMHO, no point in doing it. Fly line for fly reels and rods only, I would think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonyb 1,017 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 A team of flies on a bubble float is so effective, mostly at night for trout, that the method is banned on most waters in the UK :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: http://globalflyfisher.com/fishbetter/bubble.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hugh1 0 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Thanks people. I will learn to fly eventually. I had a look at the bubble float and fly idea. Looks like a plan for now. Might have to try that out. I'm always open to new ways of fishing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
