Drill a couple holes on the other reel. Bolt it on. With a little thought and planning, this should work with any reel. [Fly of course, also spincast, underspin, etc,] This makes it a much better rig and is great for anyone who likes to modify [or fiddle with] things ;] http://images36.fotki.com/v1201/photos/1/133294/6255699/quantummod001-vi.jpg To modify another reel to fit the Fish Pen:

A spinning one is [very rarely] available]. All rods are the same but the spincast reel leaves a lot to be deisered :[ The rod itself is surpisingly good :] With a modified, to fit, ultralight spincast,[or underspin] it's an awesome rig for a small stream !!! Lots of shiners, perch, sunfish, pickerel, and a few Trout [including one 14" Brookie] have been a real blast !!!!!!! http://images36.fotki.com/v1203/photos/1/133294/6255699/troutpic005-vi.jpg Sometimes a Flyrod version IS available [see ebay].

You get one if you buy one but you have to pay s&h. That comes out to $29 each. Kind of a lot for something that might not really stand up to the weight of a fish.

Abandon the round of golf? This is the danger of combining <i>anything</i> with fly fishing -- what do you do if the bite is really on? This is why I advise men not to fly fish the morning of their wedding -- do you honestly think "sorry I'm late to our wedding, but the damned Green Drakes started coming off..." will fly?

Quick couple casts between holes and you could have the best of both worlds at the same time (and not get caught too)!
