[QUOTE="Gators5220, post: 260881, member: 7298"] First is it an 8wt or an 8 foot rod? Second what do you want to do with it? If your just beginning don't spend a lot of money on the reel, you can always cup the spool and who knows how much you'll like it. You can get a good reel from bass pro or even a used reel, drag won't matter unless you get into big fish. Spend some money on line though, a weight foward line will help you load the rod, and my advice buy the line from a shop that knows fly fishing. If your lucky they might even show you how to throw, ask about a double hull if they do (type of throwing technique) and most importantly remember it's supposed to be fun! [/QUOTE]
