10-15kg
But I only use 20lb braid on it and about 3kgs of drag pressure. I've had that rod for about 6 years and its caught some of my best captures, the 17kg Dhui / 17kg Spaniard double, plus heaps of big 10kg plus dhuies and an assortment of other species. It has been my go to rod for ages, hard to part with when it works so well with the lightish gear I like to use.
