Is it worth it to get into steelheading?

[quote flyfisher117]I didn't get a reel I have an older shimano TX4000 reel that I was hoping would work. Its rated to hold 160-180 yards of 12lb test. Use it or get a newer reel?[/quote]

If it works, use it. Those measurements are almost certainly for mono. If you want to use braid, you can get a lot more line on it.
