Spot on Doug, I chose this as the "heavy" rod to take into my senior years :) .

Hi Dan

Consider Hots Gipang 77xxxh! One for sell still at a very good price.
I only own the 75xxh (wouldnt mind going heavier myself). It cast well with 150gm thru to fullscale king kong. Hots rod in general is very bouncy and confy when casting and fighting. If you base in perth metro area, you are more than welcome to have a cast with it.

Another option is ultimo 79h. Awesome rod!! I find best with stickbait 130-180gm.
Also works well with poppers up to 150gm. I use my with fullscales Big180.
