Ben, I'll respond to this question. If you're looking for a rod for 210g chuggers, I'd suggest that the rod wouldn't really be ideal for 120g chuggers. I'd stick with your DJ for the 120g chuggers but for the big lures say from about 180g upwards, I'd look for a different rod. At this point, the strongest of the new generation of popper rods from Carpenter is the MH79XH but for poppers beyond about 180g, well, if you want a Carpenter, you really will need to find a second hand SP78UHL.
