Welcome go BFT and thanks for the question.
It sounds like you did find a baitcaster rod. You will notice a difference besides the trigger (1st indicator) but also the first guide is rather small compared to that of a Spinning rod.
The type of casting is totally different from spin casting and baitcasting. It takes a lot of practice to overcome the factors of getting the line where you want it and not getting a backlash or Birdsnest.
What brand is the Rod that you found??
We might be able to give you some pointers on whether it is worth investing in a reel for it or if it would be better to sell it to a friend.
Unless you are a Bass fisherman, it would be hard to convince you of the pros and cons of that rod.[cool]
