i had one and it will handle semi rough ground no problem but if your fishing into kelp i would go for something a bit stronger in the tip.wr300 or ttr or the likes.

i've got the older version - its good for mixed ground but as said above if i was fishing into kelp beds etc i'd want a stiffer tip.
i really enjoy using mine - cast 6oz and big baits a long way, tip action is nice and shows up smaller bites at range. got nice amount of power in the butt, and fished reel down i find it a lovely fishing tool.
i mostly use mine from the rocks as well as ray fishing on beaches where i needed some backbone to shift them.
cant help on the new one though.
