150 to 250ish.
There is also the century kompressor wr300 zziplex dymic bullet. There are lots of good heavy ground rods from the 3 brands i have mentioned. I cant comment on any of the lesser quality rods

Have used a Daiwa Sandstorm for rough ground and rock fishing for the last 10 years (the same rod).
Will put a bait out 100 yds no bother. Never had a bother with the eyes of reel seat, and this rod has seen some hours of rough fishing.
Cost the guts of 200 euro new here,,90 sterling from Alderney angling.
