Looked at the NEW line products available and hit a wall.
Work related travel for the past 35 years pre-empted use of the rod and reels. I know little about the available products other than listening to others.
Seeking input from the community.
Guessing the rod is 7 pound.

No such thing as "7 pound". B5C would indicate either a 5 weight line, or a 5 piece rod. 7' would indicate 7 feet long.
If it is not 7 feet like long (ie. 9 feet or 8.5 feet) then it may very well be a 7 weight rod; therefore get a 7 weight line.
Otherwise, you are looking for a "#" followed by a number; the number will indicate the appropriate line.
I would be surprised to find a 7 foot, #8 rod.
ETA, I would suggest changing out the backing at the same time.
