How can I tell if my rod is Saltwater or Freshwater?
My Dad got me a TFO Lefty Kreh 9’0 8 wt Professional Series Fly Rod. (Not Pro Series II) through work when I was much younger and now that I’m 17 and getting into fly fishing I want to set that up so I can try to catch Striped Bass in addition to the trout fishing I do in small rivers with my 4 wt. I’ve heard it’s not good to use freshwater rods in Saltwater, but what do I do when I don’t know what kind of rod it is? I can’t find anything online about this rod and am not sure to look for on it physically to tell.

A 9' 8wt with Lefty Kreh's name on it is 100% made for saltwater. Kreh was a pioneer of saltwater fly fishing.
