Ok, so I doubled up on a recent question and no-one answered me. To be expected I guess.
Anyway I looked at a few more rods, Samaki Vanquish series Jig rods and Samurai heavy spin/jig as well as the cheaper offerings from Shimano, Daiwa and Silstar. All would do the job I guess, but so would a length of suitable thickness bamboo.
In the end I bought a Live Fibre Venom, PE5-10 450gr Jig from Anglerswarehouse in Tweed Heads.
The Deep Jig 400, (the one I thought I'd walk out with) is a very nice rod, but it felt soft in the tip section with the heavy action starting further down the rod, unlike the Venom where the tip is flexi enough to have feel while the heavy lifting action is more the whole rod.
Cant wait to go fish with it now.
