If your rod is 8.5' or 9' long, chances are that it will be a 7 wt. rod. Most older rods that I have seen are 7 or maybe 6 wt. A fly shop could help you here, by putting on several different line weights and seeing which one loads and feels the best. Many times folks will go one line weight heaver than the rod suggests, because it will cast better in the wind. On an older rod, that is probably fiber glass, it won't hurt to use a heaver line.
You may also just want to make a wall hanger out of it and pick up a new graphite rod to fish with. They are great!!!
