Featherweight

4/5 weight rod will definitely work, don't really need to know any more about it so long as it casts OK for you.Different rods suit different casting styles but you don't need to complicate things, best thing to do is use it!Cheers

Nice fish, we'll done.You don't need a special tool, try Googling tube nail knot and such like, should turn something up.That said, to be worried about breakages, guessing you must have damaged the thin end of your leader. You can Just replace the damaged bit, doesn't need to be that technical, especially if your fishing wets. I would find where the leader is around 8 pound, cut it and tie on a length of 6 pound tippet.Good luck!

Based on it's length and without seeing it i'd probably start with a 5 and work down or up from there. You really have no choice but to try some lines.As I said, bamboo will generally throw a wide range of lines, especially under lining due to the inherant weight of the cane. (this doesn't necessarily mean slow.)Good Luck!

Hi Fishzilla,Impossible to advise on line based on the information above. How long is the rod, may give some indication of what it was intended for.You will most likely just have to try a few lines to find one that suits the particular rod. A 5 weight would probably be a good starting point. A bamboo rod will usually cast a wider range of line weight than a carbon rob due to their own inherent weight. They do not solely rely on line weight to load.Better find someone with a few lines you can try. At the end of the day the right line is one that suits the rod and your casting style.As far

Very Nice, good taste!
