I think I might do what @bulldog1935 said, I think if I have a reel like this I should at least try to make good use of it rather than letting it sit the way it has for 40 years. I’d still keep all the old parts in case I decide to retire it and put it back on the shelf the with the original parts.

That’s a great bag, I have the same one for surf fishing.

I fish some creeks, not too much. I have a light spinning rod with lighter mono line for throwing small lures in creeks.

Luckily I ordered 14.

I think I’ll go with the 12-14lb suffix elite. Looks I can get a 350yd spool for only $9 so that sounds like a good deal to me.

Thanks again @bulldog1935! You’ve been great help. I’ve tried a bait caster years ago with braid and the backlashes pretty much made me quit, I’m not sure what happened to that reel but I have the rod. Sounds like monos probably the best way to go right now

Ok, I might put on 15lb flouro because I have really clear water, I can tie on a short mono leader if I’m fishing top water, it will be a pain but I don’t fish top water too much. Eventually I would like to get another rod/reel so I can have one with mono and one with braid or flouro, just can’t afford that yet.
