Afternoon all,
During lockdown(s) I couldnt get out stalking so began to learn a bit of fly fishing (trout on still water lakes). I was lucky enough to have some kit on loan but have returned that and been given some odds and sods of my own. I have a 2.85m rod that is 7/8 weight, I get on very well with the rod and have been given a reel to go with it (pictures hopefully attached). Now its an old reel but will do the job for me. I want to fish a #7 WF floating line, its all i have used.
Is this reel suitabe for that kind of line? How much line and backing line should I put on?
My internet searches have only been able to inform me that the reel is a Pridex lightweigh fly reel.
Any help appreciated
