Best rods for penn 30 intntl reels

[salty taste]

My father bought all new reels and was kind enough to give me a couple of his aged 30 penn Intnl reels. These are not wides or INTNLS II. They seems to be very narrow, much like the 20's.
I would like to use them up north for offshore tuna wishing(not giants-but football sizes that we catch some summers). I have a few 50 wides as well but would like to spool these up with 40-50 pound test and get a couple "affordable" rods to match up with them.
Does anyone have any experince with these reels and have a ideas for rod choice. I iwould like to spend $100 per rod. Must be stand up rods, I like the 5 1/2 foot rods on my smallish 21 contender.
Please let me know your thoughts.

outerbanksoutfitters.com sells the Penn Senator 6/0 114's paired with several different rods for between $150 and $180. One of the combos is expressly for stand-up trolling. It's an all-roller rod. The rods are made by Penn, too. They sell the rods on their own.

These might fit your needs.

Under $100 is kinda tough. Most people go with a stand up rod with roller stripper/tip top. They'll be in the $150-160 range.

Penn make formula stand up rods with no rollers that are around $100.

Okuma makes some offshore stand ups that are around $100. They have Aftco stripper/Tips. I've never fished with them but did see them at a show over the winter and the felt pretty good.

salty - if you're going to target footballs, why do you plan on spooling up with 40 or 50#? Why not stick to 30# and have some sport? If you do, you can get "good old" Penn Senator rods in that weight class for under $100, not sure if you'll find 5'6" stand-ups though. If you can stretch the budget a little, you can get a nice Star 5'6" stand-up rod for about $125.

found some great deals on the outerbanks site-Thanks for all the ideas guys, I will spool with lighter line and use lighter rods.
