Congrat's on the new rod, you may get by throwing a 6 weight line on it being today's lines weigh more than they did "back then".

The old Medalist are heavy which will help, so is a Hardy Bougle(expensive), then again, i think the mid Arbor Orvis Battenkill is heavy, of course it dosen't have a classic look though.
