Alright, picked up the rod from pops this morning. It is a:
Heddon Pal Pro Weight
#8381 - 8.5' Fly
for weight 7 lines
Looking at this reel just to start with - [url "http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/sportsmans/Shakespeare-Single-Action-Fly-Reel/productDetail/Fly-Reels/prod9999012890/cat101038"]http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/...9999012890/cat101038[/url]
And looking at this line - [url "http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/sportsmans/Cortland-Line-333-100-Floating-Running-Line/productDetail/Fly-Lines/prod71731/cat101060"]http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/.../prod71731/cat101060[/url]
I can't find any sort of descriptor that matches line to rod weight? So
on that.
But, I really don't know what I'm looking for. I've heard for beginning I should be looking at floating line, but that's about it. I know I'm going to need backing and tippet, and right now it all seems a bit greek to me. Time to hit some guides on terminology and what is necessary to get out and learn.
