Sandstorms have good bite detection and give a decent cast, you might be able to pick up a greys or penn rod for the €300

see if you can get your hands on a greys triplex 16 foot, should get one for that price or there abouts.

great rod and has an almighty bite detection and great power, i have had specimen smoothies on it and not had a bother
