Anyone fish this rod extensively? It's one I don't have and am really jnterested in for moderately heavy shakes on 12# braid. I'm thinking it will actually be better than my Loomis Shakey, but don't know that for absolute certain. Curious what you guys think about it, given its one that I haven't spent a lot of time with.

This rod is My favorite Rod of all the various others in my collection. I have mine paired with a an Abu Garcia Revo sx 30 spinning rod that does an excellent job with it. I have 8# braid with a 6# flouro leader. Im not sure if you have other St Croix's in a similar action but I find it very unique. It is excellent for shakyheads and also doubles as a really good senko rod. Its the rod in my locker that gets the pink rod sock because its my baby lol   After 4 years of owning this rod I have no Complaints. Its a little butt heavy with my reel which is good for tip up presentations. Its also responisble for all of these
