I have a reddington form as a practice rod for at home. I'm wondering if anyone has tried to actually fish it. Would like to try it myself, But I dont know how to attach a reel or what line to use with it. Any ideas or if anyone else that has tried. pictures would be great.

Well to attach a reel, you can use electrical tape or small zip ties. Line not sure about. Start with what you have on hand.i have used the running line of a wf5f on my 2 wt rod with good results.

I saw somewhere people use rings to attach the reel, But I am unsure where to find an item like that. I suppose I will just start by seeing how it casts a wf2f

Rubber o-rings are another option, hobby lobby also sells metal rings. Just not sure how well they will hold to get it past the swell on the grip.
