Well the birthday fairy bought me 3 new rods on the weekend.
Got a nice shimano combo, 2-4kgs, will be a nice SP outfit. Whoops................did i say SP outfit out loud??????????????????
The other two were rods only....damn have to have a word with that birthday fairy
The 2 rods are both Penn's one 6ft and 10-15kgs, the other 7ft and 12-15kgs.
Any recommendations for reels to go on them? Plan to use them in the bay and outside.

How do you tell if a rods designed for overhead or spinning reels if it isnt marked on the rod?

Quite easy, just look at the first guide (from the reel):
- Small size runner close to the reel seat = OH stick.
- Large size runner far from the reel seat = spinning stick.
Cheers mate thanks.....seems i have overhaeds then

For the lighter setup overheads like the penn GT series or Shimano Charter Special have levelwinds or go a TLD 15 or up to a torium
The heavier setup might suit a TLD or Tyrnos. Daiwa also have great reels in those sort of ranges
Happy buying
