You should mount a spoiler on your reel and chrome spikes around the handle

its old people code. means he wishes he had thought of the colour coordinating idea first . good on you for dumping the time wasting video games for some real fun, not many kids can relate nowadays. and wonder why they are fat and white as Edwin or whatever his vampire name is because they spend all day in their moms basement avoiding the real world. OK I have an xbox but I cant even remember where I put it. :bad_boys_20:

Careful with the reel, hsve the same one. My drag system failed after getting soaked and frozen last winter. Other than that not a bad reel.

Put mono backing, lots of choices of colours. With a weight forward line that spool will not hold much backing.

The orange backing you can get at almost any store that spools up reels. WSP also has it. Backing is cheap so you can always change it if you want later.

As for the fly line I would rather know what type of rod you have and what action the rod is. That way you can get a better cast for your rod. Most companies blue lines are one's that they make for salt water fishing in the tropics. They will be much too stiff for fishing in Alberta. If you just get the line for color then you might end up with a line that doesn't seem to cast right for the rod. For example if you get a fast action line like a RIO Gold and you put it on a slow action rod. The rod will load up fast but will take forever to recover and get the line back. Not saying that the line will be impossible to cast. But you could do much better and if you buy a line that matches your rod you will be much happier in the long run.

If you PM me some information on your rod, then I would be happy to give you some assistance in picking out that line.

Great to hear of a young guy who wants to dump the video games and see what the outside has to offer.

Welcome to the wilderness.
Good luck with your purchase.
