Cant say why a slosh 20 cant handle the rough stuff...

A used mine on the rocks b4 and never had a problem, it heaved in my PB wrasse of 4lb 12ozs. Had a few sessions on the rocks after that but av never been on the rocks since...

Time to get a new rock rod for me!!

upgrade to a 30 mate better line capacity for heavy line

I agree m8,if your fishing ruff with heavy line 25-30lb you need a 30 for line capacity.I think the guts of both reels are the same though.

Yeah but it'll depend on line dia. You'll get a lot more 30lb F1 or similar line on the spool than say sensor which is much thicker. So in my opinion a sl20 will be ok for rough ground but you may have to use thinner line to get more on and as it's more expensive maybe not such a good idea in rough ground. Having said that, what is the line capacity of a sl20 with say 0.5 dia line, I'll bet it's enough to fish any mark, rough or clean.

25lb sensor would be alot better than 30lb f1 for rough ground. ive used f1 and its only good for clean beaches IMO.

I bet it's not!

Yeah that was my last point, I bet you can get enough sensor 25lb (or heavier) on a sl20 to fish any mark, the sl20 will cope no bother with the ground in my opinion but this combo would obviously have it's price in terms of casting distance, if it's necessary to cast a mile, which I doubt in most cases.
