The rod you have is where Lamiglas started the development of what is now the XMG 50 rods. I owned one from around 2000 that was passed down to my son who still fishes it today. I'd fish a reel similar to the Shimano 200/201 in size and line capacity on 10-12 lb line. If you have one of those rods you have about 85% of your summer/winter steelhead or coho fishing needs met from the bank.
