keep an eye out for a second hand conoflex nemesis plus or conoflex anubis.
Conoflex make some of the best rough ground rods

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.
