Nick Hi and welcome to NESA.
Been having think about backcast rod,been through it myself as wanted to have a go at it few years ago.But realised in company of other anglers on our coast was not very good idea.
As for a rod both my frontline rock rods backcast,Raptor, PZ T, sorry but they dont make em now so that s not much help.If your realistic about this you may have to pay out plenty for so called top rod,on market what I know of the
Zziplex XTR and Centurys CME could both be good options and as they cast any style you would not end up with wasted rod catching dust in roomcorner.
