Re: new rod
Overhead reel is certainly better suited if you have no issues using one.
Re the rod for WPB something around 10kg with a medium-fast action would be the way to go.
I use 40lb leader and have been for many many years with no issues.

Re: new rod
Just get a cheap glass rod like an Ugly Stick or something. No need to spend big on a rod that's just going to spend 90% of the time sitting in the rod holder waiting for a bite.
