Well, it might indeed, but you cannot strip set a spinning rod, if you incur problems, you might need to learn the "sweep strike". I have a flimsy expensive Japanese spin rod, recently acquired that I would rate as a 2wt flyrod. I have hooked only a handful of small, 6 to 8 inch bass on it so far, and have yet to sink the hook passed the barb on any of them, and have only brought two to hand. Just my .02 YMMV Don't get me wrong, I think this is a wonderful idea, just sharing problems I have faced. I am sure the rod you build will be super fun.
