I haven't been fishing over 25 years. But if i had your fishing pole, I'd go to Walmart and get some lures and new fishing license, then I go to ran down gas station selling bait, and get some chicken liver. And go find me spot nobody is at and try my luck. Im also old man 41 years old. And I like my air conditioner in my house, so that's why no more fishing for me. I'd rather play a fishing game on steam. But if you go good luck! Catch them all!

I guess the reply answer is what are you hoping to catch with it?...Most freshwater poles and reels are made to handle most any freshwater fish...You really are just limited by the weight capacity of your line, your leader strength and your fishing technique...If you put undue stress on your pole on the reel in, it could snap but in all my years of fishing, I have never had a pole snap once...My line broke first due to age, bottom debris, fish teeth and just a plain strong heavy fish...

Old Rods only catch Magikarp

My favorite fishing has always been what people call panfish, bream, and smallmouth bass. River fishing. Id toss on a good rooster tail and wear them out.

Well, I live in low lands so I only have access to rivers and some small lakes, so from what I read from comments above I should just replace the line and arm it and don't care more about it and just spend some carefree time with nature
