a fly rod will never be as good as a long surf rod since it is not really designed to haul up heavy things out of the water. hopefully you won't snap the rod! then again if the squid are small i guess it does not matter.
You can attach a normal spinning reel but there will (usually) be no rod butt to rest against you and so it may make reeling a bit difficult. then again some heavy saltwater fly rods DO have rod butts that extend beyond the reel seat. they would work a lot better.
hope that helps, cheers, glen <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ink' />
