My kid was given a new used rod

Jimmy:
My buddy just passed down a 9 ft diawa BLACK WIDOW with a spinning reel for my 8 year old kid.

He is glowing and looking forward to getting out on the river as soon as he is back from grandma's next week

I have to put line on this thing and was wondering what you all would segest, we will be bar fishing and the other way for sockeye. I was thinking 20 lbs maxama

FISH187:
20lb maxima is good.   Maybe a little heavier if bar fishing for chinook.  In my opinion maxima ultra green is the best line money can buy.  If you are fishing the other way 20 lb is perfect.  

FISH187:
oh and if you want to save a few dollars, go to a local tackle shop, most have bulk line there, and will load the reel up for you, it is less expensive than buying the spool of line off the shelf.  

_Ivan_:
I would say that you get 20lbs maxima and 15lbs leader.

Jimmy:
I will get him a real set up for christmas this year I was thinking of a 10' 6" with a corsair combo. What you guys think. I will be on a $200 budget.
