Hi Matt

Unfortunately, the S53SD is also made for a spinning reel!  ;D
Shimano Australia do not import a PE8 Blue Rose for an overhead. They do have a PE6 model but I am not familiar with this rod at all as I am too uncoordinated to jig with an overhead.

I think you might still need to go back and have a chat with Neil!

Matt Kilpatrick:
Thanks Brandon. Okay, I have checked the model of my Blue Rose ? it is a B5315S, which is 5'3" overhead rod. The Shimano site says, ?The B5315S overhead is of a similar length and can handle PE 8 braid?, however, the tech table then specifies PE Max 6. I thought the rod says PE Max 8, but I would have to check.

If there is a discrepancy, it is like my Saltiga Muramura 76, which all the technical info says is a PE 6 rod, however, the rod label says PE 8.
