I also use a 13' Preston Carbonactive Sentient and it is a fine rod but I also have a number of others, which are a good deal cheaper and perfectly adequate. To some extent it depends on what I am trotting for, if it's barbel, then I will use an old mark1 Drennan tench float rod. If I am fishing for anything else I tend to grab the first one that comes to hand and use that. As with all these things is a case of 'it's the driver that matters and not the carriage'.
I can almost hear the inrush of air as all the tackle tarts suck their cheeks in at the thought of this heresy
This holds especially true when it comes to Wallis casting you do not need a special rod to do it with you can use pretty much anything. At my demonstrations nowadays I take a perverse delight in taking a truly (by today's standards) rubbish rod and pin type reel and putting out a long cast with it just to prove the point it's worth it just to see the look on everyone's face
