Choose your configuration
The selector currently labelled Color identifies the rod and package configuration, not a colour choice. S identifies spinning rods and C identifies casting rods. ML, M and MH indicate medium-light, medium and medium-heavy rod power, not rod action.

Spinning Rod n Reel: Includes the selected spinning rod and a spinning reel. Options are 1.8m ML, 2.1m M and 2.4m MH.
Casting rod with L Reel: Includes the selected casting rod and a left-hand-retrieve baitcasting reel, in 2.1m M or 2.4m MH.

Reel model names and specifications are not clearly matched to each combo in the supplier listing, so a single reel weight, gear ratio, bearing count or drag rating is not assumed across the combinations.
Rod weights above exclude any reel. Choose your package carefully and follow the ratings marked on the selected rod when matching line and lures.
