Oh, and to answer the next question as to what line out of the hundreds available, get a floating or intermediate line (slow sinker/I like clear intermediates) 1 or 2 line weights heavier than your rod is rated for or in your case a 9 or 10 weight. Wind it on your reel tip first and add enough 30# Cortland or other dacron backing to within a pencil thickness of the reel foot or posts holding the reel halves together. Then turn the whole thing around on the spool. Get some 40 pound Maxima or Big Game for a 4 foot butt section for your leader and loop to loop about 24-30" of 20# to that for a leader. Buy or tie a few Clousers and Deceivers (chartreuse is a good color) and go fish.
