I have finished regripping my South Bend 55 9 foot bamboo rod. It thurned out very nice.

Now if i could get your opinion:

What type model brand of reel should I get to go with the 50's era rod?

What weight and type of line should I use?

Finally what is the action I might expect with rod?? ( not how many trout I catch

Again thaks for the advice.. Couldn't have done it without all your help.
