For under £100 stirling the Ron Thompson Accelerator is very hard to beat and for under £200 then have a look at the Greys Apollo M2 ( it comes as either a 13 or 14ft version) Not sure if it is still running but Greys had a promotion that if you bought an Apollo for example, you would get £80 or £90 worth of fishing luggage free.

If you are looking beyond that, then Conoflex, Zziplex, Daiwa and Century all produce excellent rough ground rods.

Even a bad days fishing is better than working.
