What type of line should I buy for this rod reel combo?

I do not know anything about fishing, but went to a Bass Pro Shop and got hooked up with this combo:

Bass Pro Rod XTR66MLS-2, 6 foot-6 inches length, Lure wt: 1/16-3/8 oz, Line wt: 4-10lb, Power:Med Lite, Action Fast.

Reel is: Pflueger President Spinning Reel, Line Capacity: yrd./lbs. 180/2 115/4 80/6, gear ratio: 5.2:1, weight: 7.7 oz, 9 ball bearings.

This is for my dad. He will go fishing in Yosemite, fishing brown, brook and rainbow trout.

I am confused with the type of line to get, especially the 2 lb, 4 lb, 6lb and 8 lb difference. Is a 4 lb monofilament Maxima Ultragreen okay? This one I saw at Sports Chalet. Forgot to ask the Bass Pro Shop guys

Thanks.
What does a 4 lb test or a 20 lb test mean? If it says 4 lb on the box, does that mean a 4 lb test too, because I don't see anything about "test"? I am sorry, I really don't know anything about fishing lines. Just trying to get something thoughtful for my dad's birthday. Thanks again

You are a great daughter to get your dad a fishing outfit for his trip to Yosemite. Line rated for 4 lbs. will handle virtually any fish he encounters in Yosemite. It will also cast far and easy.. Actually; the 2 lb line will handle all the trout in Yosemite, but 4 lb test is easier to handle when tying clinch knots. I have taken 4 lb Brown trout on 2 lb test tapered leaders (Fly Rod) in Yellowstone Park and all that I needed to safely land them is a fly fisherman's small net. You should go with him and fish with him. I taught my granddaughter to fly fish and to spin fish for trout at age 8 when we lived in Breckenridge, CO.
Now she has asked me to teach her son about fishing and outdoor life.

Penn International: The Humble Beginnings of Penn Reels

Penn International has been in the fishing industry for over seventy-five years now. It has established a world-class standard in saltwater fishing. From the time Penn Fishing Tackle Company was founded by Otto Henze, fishing has never been the same without using Penn International products. From the design and production of Penn fishing gear, millions of anglers have shown great satisfaction and faith in using them. The evolution of modern bass fishing greatly contributed billions of dollars in the fishing industry today. The fishing sports become so popular such that manufacturing of fishing equipment have also become competitive among the many manufacturers worldwide. Penn International made sure that they answer to the needs of every angler, which is why they have been continuously designing and improving their products.

What Is a Fishing Reel?

Penn International reels are among the products of Penn Fishing Tackle Company. The equipment used in organizing the retrieval of a fishing line is called the fishing reel. The line is retrieved with the use of the spool of the Penn reels that are mounted on its axle. Penn International reels have been widely accepted in the popular sport of angling. Penn International rods and reels are commonly used in combination with each other. Although, nowadays, Penn International have developed Penn reels that are directly mounted into boats or transoms. Fishing reels date back to AD 1195 as shown in some Chinese paintings and illustrations. Then, as early as the 1700s, fishing reels were being offered in some shops in London. But history points to an American George Snyder as the inventor of the very first fishing reel, which became the design popular to American anglers. Today, there are a number of fishing reels noted, such as:

• Centrepin Reel
• Bait Casting Reel
• Spinning Reel
• Spin Cast Reel
• Underspin Reel

What's in Store with Penn International Reels?

Penn International employs in their internal structure components that have gone through rigorous testing and experimenting. This is to make sure that Penn reels are only made up of the best components that would give the consumers satisfaction. Even the frames and side plates are made up of strong but light aluminum alloy material to make sure that catching fish is worth the experience of every fishing hobbyist and even newbies. Comparing Penn International products with that from other manufacturers would put the competitor in an embarrassing situation-because Penn reels have even met the NASA grade standards. Penn International made their products with bullet proof material making it durable, and they made sure that the long term performance of each of their equipment are their primary consideration.
