I can vouch for the 12ft Sensation Shad Pro ... This rod just doesn't stop impressing me ... Partnered it with a Daiwa Regal 4500 with 150m-200m .30 Double X and 150m 20pound braid.
So far I've caught plenty shad and have also used it with a 3oz chissel noze plug for Garrick. It casts an aboslute MILE !!! Yet to pickup something decent on it though.
All in all, VERY, VERY happy with it.
