Just getting into fishing with some family and looking for some advice on reel sizes.

The rod i got is this one, it was on sale for $20.

6'6" MH

The reel i got is the Pflueger President XT 6730 with 8lb line (The free stuff from BPS). They where out of the 35 that i wanted but the salesman said it would be more than adequate for what i am doing.

I live in Iowa so theres some decent fishing around here and we have no grand plans on going north yet. Was the salesmen right when he said this would be more than adequate?

Caught a couple smaller bass (13" and 10" i dont own a scale yet) on my first run with it and it went smooth.

My other question is if it will work for me what line? Someone suggested 20lb braid but i dont want to invest in expensive line without knowing.
