I am a newbie at flycasting, and have been given an old flyrod/reel (writing on it says Heddon Pal 8wt and it is 9ft 2piece)
I am not sure how old the line is, but it appears to be ok, and the tippet (the mono on the end of it, is about 6 ft long.
My question is: should I replace this line and tippet before I start trying to learn how to cast, or will the old line suffice.
Thanks for any feedback you can give to a 56 year old novice.
