So my father in law passed along to me a mid to late 80s orvis battenkill 7/8 reel and an orvis 7 weight allrounder model rod. This rod is 8'3" in length. 2 piece. Has a soft or slow action and flexes all the way to the grip. So question is because it's a 20 year old rod and technology 7 weight do you believe it is still a 7 weight line class by today's standards when I buy new line? Probably going to be a bass rig. Sweet rod and reel imo. Thanks
