Hi Saiki

It depends a lot on whether you really want to use 180 gram chuggers. A big-faced chugger in that weight range will require a fairly serious stiff-tipped rod.  If though you are intending to use stickbaits up to that weight but limit the chuggers to more like 150 grams, then lighter weight rods will do the job.
