It might help to know whether it's a spinning rod, a spin-casting rod, a trout rod, etc.

They are different.

I’m guessing it is a bait-casting rod, but it works fine as a medium duty spin-cast rod. I do not detect any bias in its flexure. Action seems medium (for an older rod.)

(I’ve done deflection tests on many rods, and almost none have the claimed bias for spinning vs. bait-cast, etc. Maybe high end stuff I can’t afford has it. So, that leaves mainly guide design / size and orientation.)

Thanks!
