Dont think the estuary match is for "medium" ground. From what I understand its a lighter and cheaper version of the Source.
I have the Source, it has a great tip and decent power low down in the rod but I wouldnt take it near anywhere snaggy, tip is way too soft and the estuary match is similar.
Good flounder rod though.

Hope that helps.

Think the Ian Golds Extractor might be up your street. Has decent bite detection and is not an out and out rough rod. Supposed to be very user friendly also. Got good reviews from a lot of lads on the site and for the price they would be hard to beat.
You'll get them on www.efishsell.com, East Coast Tackle should have them on that site.
