A spin fishing setup is pretty simple. You go from reel, to line, to lure. Fly fishing, on the other hand, goes from reel, to backing, to fly line, to a tapered leader, to tippit, to fly. For bluegill you can just forget about the tippit and backing. That will make things a little more simple for you. A straight 6lb leader is ok. For gills you'll want it around 6-7' long. I don't want to overload you with info all at one time, but there are some important "tips" about casting that will help you out. Let us know once you get your rod.
