They'll let you try some rods and show you a little casting technique and give you some flies.
Take a fews hours and try it.
Call some shops first to see what they'll do for you.
good luck

So do you suggest he buy a Pfluger as well?
I have a President and it is a a nice reel and so is my Pfluger Trion. I have them paired up with a Shimano Voltaeus ( which is not made anymore I think) and an old style Shimano Sojourn.
I think for what you are doing I would suggest the Trion/Sojourn combo. With some line it may be around $100.
I also have a couple of cheap Diawas that I bought to lend to people that seem to work ok as well.
I don't want you to spend too much on the spinning gear because once you do get your fly rod figured out your other gear will not be used too often.
If you can wait until the end of the month The Fishin' Hole has their wall to wall sale and you can save some decent money then.
