I recently received a Fenwick Spinning and Fly Combo as a gift. Specs- 7'0", 1/8-5/8 lures, 6-12lb, and it is carbon veil (I guess that would mean graphite). The spinning reel is an Abu Garcia Cardinal--8lbs/80yds. I don't know how to fly fish so the fly reel isn't of much importance to me. Anyway, my question is what kind of fish would this rod & reel combo be capable of handling? Also, can I do some saltwater striper fishing with it or will it fail? Lastly, should I get 8lb mono or 8lb braid? Thanks
