Found a Johnson profile series 400 - 4F86B - 4-3/4 oz line - DT 8 - WF 9 - for $10 @ yard sale, internet research tells me this is 8.5' bass action, made 62-64. I have never used a fiberglass rod, but have been fly fishing on & off since 1980's, I bought this for a wall hanger decoration in my lake house, but I have fallen down the rabbit hole of fiberglass rods and have decided to put a spool on it and try it, I was considering a $25 new cheap reel amazon, the questions ? Should I try to use it, or try to buy a period correct reel for it and put it on the wall ? or try to sell it ? if use, what line should I use, I fly rod only for bass on the lake I live on ?
