Looks like a good spot to practice my new setup! Found a cheap float real in my garage (I got it when my Grandpa passed, he bought it at winners),took the clicker out, so it free wheels. I have been using a spinning reel on my 10'6" medium-light action rod. I spooled the fly reel up with 50yds of backing, a lot of 30lbs mono, followed by 12lbs braid and then 5lbs fluoro. Very interested to see how it works.
