everything fg said but I would add one thing... look at getting a good furled leader then all you need to do is match the tippet to the size fly you are using... FG could give some good info on a furled leader...
:-)...
I especially agree with the extra spool for the reel... years ago FG got me into a good deal on a great reel and since then I have accumulated like five or six different lines for it ... its easy to make changes depending on what you are doing.. for example.. from the shore you could be using a good wf floating line with stimulators or poppers .. or woolybuggers to see what is closer to the surface.. if you want to fish deeper switch spools and use your wf sinking line for that... now each spool will have to have backing and line and leader.. but its well worth it if you try a variety of flies and different fishing techniques... :-)
